Dąb był sakralnym drzewem gromowładnego i był postrzegany jako jego siedziba. Perun przetrwał w folklorze, zwłaszcza wśród Białorusinów, jako zły duch uzbrojony w broń piorunową i ścigający węża lub diabły ukrywające się w różnych miejscach. Prorok Eliasz jest opisywany w podobny sposób w ludowym chrześcijaństwie, z powodu którego zaproponowano teorię, że kult Peruna został ostatecznie przeniesiony na Eliasza. Pomimo podobieństw między nimi, całkowita zbieżność Eliasza z Perunem jest fałszywa, ponieważ idea Eliasza jako gromowładnego wywodzi się z greckiego, chrześcijańskiego folkloru.
