One of the main characters of the film is the Devil. It is a completely brown-furred humanoid creature with a tail, small horns, glowing eyes in the dark, a snout instead of a nose and hooves in place of feet.
The devil is intelligent, speaks the human language and has supernatural abilities: he can fly, steal a month from the night sky, create a snowstorm, change the size of his body.
Unlike the 1913 film, the Devil does not try to jump on the Vakula's back to ride it.

Witchcraft abilities are possessed by two characters in the film: the local witch Solokha and the Pot-bellied Patsyuk.
The witch can fly and collect stars from the sky. She is friendly with the Devil – they sit in her hut, drink gorilka and whisper.
Pot-bellied Patsyuk, who also "knows all the devils", is able to levitate small objects: the food itself is dipped in sour cream jumps into his mouth.
