Norse folklore is full of creatures living hidden in nature. In Norwegian they are called underjordiske meaning literary underearthers. In the mountains and hills there are the trolls and the hulderpeople , nisser, elfs and dwarfs. Have you ever meet a beautiful woman when walking in the mountains? Check to make sure that she does not have a cows tail before you follow her anywhere or she might take you into the mountain. And in the quiet little lakes in the forest ,under the water lilies, lives Nøkken waiting to lure you in. He can take the shape of a beautiful white horse and if you touch him he will drag you with him to the bottom of the lake.
A deep dark forest green.
