Worried about your enemies coming to kill you? Take a page from Koschei's playbook and cast a spell to stop them in their tracks. This immortal sorcerer from Slavic folklore has a foolproof plan for staying alive: he hides his death inside a needle, which is tucked inside an egg, which is hidden inside a duck, which is stuffed into a hare, which is locked in a chest, which is buried on a far-off island. Talk about Russian nesting dolls of doom!

But Koschei's not just a master of magical self-preservation - he's also a notorious villain who loves to steal the hero's girl. So if you're a dashing young prince looking to rescue your true love, be prepared to go on a wild goose chase (or duck hunt) to take down this deathless foe.
