The zlatorog is an animal in the folklore of Slovenia. It is a white chamois with golden horns and it lives in the Triglav Mountains. There is only one zlatorog.
If the zlatorog is shot in the heart, a drop of blood falls on the ground. This turns into a flower which the zlatorog eats and it cures him.
Slovene folklore also features the polkonj. These are a kind of centaur. They have long beards and what have been described as stupid noses. What the latter comment means i am unsure, as I have never seen a polkonj.
