Dabog is a Serbian deity who is believed to be a lame "wolf shepherd" who rules over the underworld. He is associated with precious metals, and sometimes was said to have a silver beard. Serbian scholar Veselin Čajkanović concluded that the chthonic character of Dabog in Serbian folklore fits very nicely with the solar Dazhbog mentioned in Old East Slavic sources.

“This, and the fact that prince Vseslav is transformed into a wolf during the night, while "crossing the path of Khors", draws a parallel with the Serbian Dabog, who, as stated already, was believed to be a lame "wolf shepherd" who rules over the underworld.”
