Sažetak

In this article, through interpretation of Međimurean legends about the Čakovec Dragon(Pozoj), the differential determinant is emphasised in relation to the proto-Slavic legend's final
status of the dragon (living status / cosmic renewal – dead status), in the legend of the Čakovec Dragon and, finally, in the legend of St George, who kills the Dragon. In other words, Christianity enthrones the single instance liquidation of the Dragon, while in the Indo-European myth on the conflict between, for example, Indra and the so-called Cosmic Monster (Vrtra, Vala) the Serpent / Dragon, it is a matter of cyclical slaughter.
