In Macedonian folk stories there are two names for dragon: zmej (read zmey) and lamja (read lamya). Lamya is more archaic and more prevalent in folklore.
The lamya is usually evil, it kidnapps girls and holds them againsts their will (until some brave shepperd saves them and fights it off). It more rearly does any real damage - like destroying cities and villages and things like that.
Anyway, I find the fact that many nations in the world have dragons in their folklore quite interesting, and even though they are sometimes quite different in their representation, most traits are still common.
