There is an Oroqen folktale about a hero named Silteken, who goes out to avenge his father's death on a 100-eyed monster. He loses the first fight and dies.
However, his clever horse goes on a quest to kidnap a (willing) princess from her wedding along with her dowry of cinnabar, which can be used to bring the dead back to life.
Revived with cinnabar by his beloved, Silteken defeats the monster.
