In Russian mythology, especially in the Caucasus region, Koshchei is an evil spirit with a terrible appearance, menacing principally young women. Koschei's other name is Koschei-Immortal, the reason for which is the fact that his death is saved separately in a needle, that is in an egg, that is in a box, that is on the big tree. Koschei will die the day the needle is broken.
In Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Koschei is referenced as an evil wizard.
