# fairytaletuesday aughost2020 illustration darkart mythology scandinavian näcken

Näcken, a Swedish waterspirit, likes to disguise himself as a white horse with a white man called Bäckahästen. It likes to lure children into the depths. For every child who climbs on the horse, the back gets longer and longer!

Paying no attention to Frozen 2 excitement, but these bäckahästen concept arts by Annette Marnat finally got me. Always loved brook horses.
