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! #FairyTaleTuesday
In old Nordic folk tales (mainly Sweden and Norway) Näcken (the Neck) is a male water creature that mainly lives in rivers, streams, ponds and lakes inland. He plays his fiddle to lure you into the water. #FolkloreThursday
@HitenNoRurouni It may be simple, but I'm gonna go with Näcken (The Nix) because he's usually depicted as a handsome water spirit, at least in Sweden (art on the left), in Norway so is he depicted in a more eerie manner (art on the right, both arts being famous in their country of origin).
Hlífrún is a collection of #DarkFantasy short stories inspired by Scandinavian folklore creatures - skogsrå, askafroa, näcken, etc - when nature protects its forests from human & magical interference.

4. Favorite OC design is harddddddddddd as well! But I guess the top ones would include Ichiro and Jenny from the faves too, but also my OC Hesekiel who is a näcken, a water creature who lures people into water to drown them. The designs are simple yet very pleasing to me :)
Do not follow a beautiful sounds of violin near lakes or streams,
or Näkki might lure you into your death.
