Jólakötturinn, The Icelandic Yule Cat, was a tale told by farmers to get their workers to finish harvesting wool before Christmas. This Cat is huge and stalks the countryside seeking the idle, or those who did not receive gifts of new clothing on Christmas Eve.

Jólakötturinn (Yule Cat) was depicted in a Studio Ghibli holiday film? 🤔

He wouldn't be friendly like Totoro, instead would chomp on the children and adults who didn't get new clothes as gifts. 😂

Iceland's Jólakötturinn (the Yule Cat) is a giant cat that is said to eat you if you don't get any new clothes by Christmas.

It's about punishing slow wool-work, but I like to imagine that Yule Cat is benevolent to those who can't make new warm clothes.

Jólakötturinn era un gato enorme del folclore islandés, negro como el tizón, con unos grandes ojos ambarinos, los cuales nadie deseaba mirar. La apariencia de este felino, sin duda, infundía terror en los corazones, pues cazaba a los humanos como si para él fueran ratones.
