Taltos
The táltos is a figure in Hungarian mythology similar to a shaman. According to Roman Catholic priest Arnold Ipolyi, in his book "Magyar mitológia" from 1854, a táltos was in direct contact with God during the prenatal period. Once born, the táltos had a special mission in life to cure both body and soul of other members of society. The táltos could be either male or female, and should be born with more bones than the usual, like six fingers or already-grown-in teeth. A táltos could also be born with the caul.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Taltos
