Scandinavian Creatures

Scandinavian creature lore unfolds across fjords, islands, forests, mountains, and winter roads. Beings warn at skerries, keep bridges and stave church porches, and challenge travellers on snow and sea. Symbols include carved portals, roof dragons, iron nails, birch bark runes, and lantern glows that move against the wind. Entries provide regional spellings and note saga and ballad contexts for encounters. Roles include sea sentinel, farmstead guardian, mountain challenger, and winter guide who preserves or punishes.
