* In the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index tale type ATU 531, "The Clever Horse" (which includes ''Literature/TheFireBirdTheHorseOfPowerAndThePrincessVasilissa'' and Russian literary tale ''The Humpbacked Horse''), the hero is helped by his faithful steed, which warns him against the perils on his journey and is ''vital'' to ensure the hero's happy ending with the princess. In regards to the word vital, the king orders the hero to enter a dangerous bath of hot milk or hot water - that could potentially kill him -, and he only survives with the horse's intervention. When the king tries to replicate, he simply burns to death.
