Dzerassæ (Ossetian: Дзерассæ) is a figure in Ossetian mythology best known as the daughter of the water deity Donbettyr[1] and the mother of several Nart saga heroes.
[3][4] After her death, the archangel Uastyrdzhi revived her and they became lovers in her tomb.
[5] She was usually depicted with golden hair, and was able to change her shape into a deer or a fish.
[6] Anthropologist Kevin Tuite has noted that this makes her similar to the Svan goddess Dali, who was also golden-haired and could change into animals.
