Something Missing?

Chernabog is the massive nocturnal devil in Night on Bald Mountain, who can take peoples hearts and holds power over various restless souls. His name is taken from Chernobog, a deity of Slavic mythology; the name is Slavic for "black god". While officially a pagan god, Chernabog might have originally been intended as a representation of Satan: when "Night on Bald Mountain" appeared on the original Wonderful World of Disney, Walt Disney referred to Chernabog as "Satan himself." Deems Taylor also refers to Chernabog as "Satan" in the film.
