In-universe information
Species Devil

Chernabog is a devil who appears in Night on Bald Mountain , who can take people's hearts and holds power over various restless souls. His name is derived from Chernobog, a deity from Slavic mythology. While officially a pagan god, Chernabog may have been intended as a representation of Satan, with Walt Disney and Deems Taylor referring to him as such. [5]

In the segment, on Walpurgis Night, Chernabog is disguised as the spire atop Bald Mountain until he reveals himself and uses his powers to raise various evil spirits and restless souls. However, they retreat after morning dawns, signified by the tolling of the Angelus Bell.
