Zlatorog of Komna

Overview

Juliana’s museum telling describes a white chamois with golden horns guarding Komna’s paradise beside white women and goats. A treasure-seeking Trenta poacher wounds him. Pink cinquefoil grows from his blood and restores him when eaten.

He kills the poacher, destroys the paradise into scree, and disappears with the white women. This selected account identifies the flower as Potentilla nitida.
