@TheRoyalBastard Well, Russian folklore (and the general Slavic folklore, as far as I know) knows many different Masters (I have hard time translating the exact word which is somewhere between Master, Owner and Overseer), one for each.
Aside from common Leshy (the Forest Master) and Domovoy (the House Master), we have Ovinnik (the Barn Master who may look like a ram or a black cat size of a dog, who protects the cattle and may give an extra thrash grain), Bannik (the Bathhouse Master, mostly invisible, but may show himself in a form of a very old naked man, covered in hair, dirt and leaves; he is no way a kind person and may even kill those who stay in the bath after the "second steam", or scald those who break any kind of bath-related bans), and a lot of other Masters and simple spirits, both household and wilderness.
