Attested across saga literature and later Scandinavian folk tradition.",SRC_SIMEK_NORTHERN,reviewed
ENT_NORF_FYLGJA,PER_NOR_VIKING,high,"The 'fetch' or following-spirit attached to a person or family, appearing in dreams as an animal (representing temperament) or as a tutelary woman (kynfylgja/dis); its appearance often portends death. Attested across the sagas (Njals saga, Gisla saga). Discussed by Simek and Lindow.",SRC_LINDOW_NORSE,reviewed
ENT_NORF_HULDRA,PER_NOR_VIKING,high,"The beautiful forest-dwelling female being of later Norwegian/Swedish folklore (huldra/skogsra), recognizable by a cow's tail or hollow back, who lures herdsmen and woodsmen; one of the huldufolk ('hidden people').

ENT_NORF_NOKK,PER_NOR_VIKING,high,"The shape-shifting freshwater spirit (Norwegian nokk/nokken, Swedish nacken, Danish nokke) of rivers, lakes and waterfalls, often a fiddle-playing male who lures victims to drown; cognate with the Germanic nixe/Nix. Post-medieval Scandinavian folk tradition; documented by Simek.",SRC_SIMEK_NORTHERN,reviewed
ENT_NORF_TROLL,PER_NOR_VIKING,high,"The troll as a folklore CLASS of malevolent, often man-eating wilderness beings of later Scandinavian tradition (mountain- and forest-trolls, turned to stone by sunlight), distinct from but historically continuous with the eddic jotnar/thurses (the saga 'troll' sense).
