(Nam-Norn) is a Drivian (Moroi / Dhamphyrian) God, or Nemi-God (which is above demi-god hood), Nemi gods are almost always weather magickians, who control or help with storms, rain, with moving storm systems, or pulling them into an area.
The Drivi are Moroi rural people who are overly shaman, and therian, going so far as to mix the two into an almost physical projection during shamanic projection as the NamNorn. Most would say the namnorn is a male, but anyone who is Drivi who has mastered the art, could be a Namnorn. It looks similar to the Horned God of Celtic Lores, except he/she is vampyric and would look like a “demon” with antlers or horns. The Horns appear to be Gazelle like, or at least local deer species of the area, which for Romania and surrounding areas would be the Shimilaot which because of its’ notorious link with the drivi namnorn, is considered “evil, or discourse” due to the folklore surrounding rural or country areas.
This drawing is sort of like what a NamNorn would look like:
Notice the animal in the corner is also horned an while it may look like a dog, could also be a deer.

I went looking for a link about romanian deer, and the only result that showed up was Roe Deer Hunting.
NamNorns for women, could be also called NamNarn(e), she who screams in the forests, not due to attack but because she is a fierce woman of warrior shamanism and magick, sort of like Scaethach for the Scotland pathway and or Macha/Morrigan for Celtic / Tuatha De Dannan people of Ireland. She would look similar to the above painting/drawing except she would wear more reds and more greens as a robe, with a bit of armor, and talismans for necklaces and braceletts. Gypsy folk would probably call her “Good Mother” believing she gives them rain and sun for crops and blesses them with good health and abundance in the home and family, though she could also be attributed to sorrow and grief in the form of the “Dark Sister” as “Aistros” or “Aistross/a”. She is believed to raise her hands and weave storms, blights and other pestilences on the people, Gypsy folk are very folkloric and believe other things beyond their control bring them doom and gloom, so any Strigoi attribute would be blamed for their pains and woes.
