During Christianisation, his cult was exchanged with cult of Saint Sava, while Dažbog became lame Daba - the most powerful demon in Hell. Reasons why he was demonized are various, possibly because his cult was the strongest in Serbia or because he was considered also as god of Nav - Slavic underworld and world of dead.
