An ala or hala (plural: ale) is a
mythological creature recorded in the
folklore of
Bulgarians,
Macedonians, and
Serbs. An ala is primarily a
demon of
bad weather whose main purpose is to lead
hail-producing thunderclouds in the direction of
fields,
vineyards, or
orchards with the intention of destroying the
crops, or looting and taking them to another place. Extremely voracious, ale particularly like to eat children, though their gluttony is not limited to
Earth. An ala causes an
eclipse of the
Sun or
Moon by trying to devour them; her success would mean the end of the
world. When people encounter an ala, their mental or physical health, or even life, are in peril; however, her favor can be gained by approaching her with respect and trust. Being in a good relationship with an ala is very beneficial: she makes her favorites rich and saves their lives in times of trouble.
