The Nøkk (or Nøkken) is a well-known Norwegian mythological creature, and wight, that's right up there with the Huldra and the Norwegian Trolls. Which is regarded as dangerous to humans, just as the Huldra and some of the Trolls are, according to the Norwegian folklore.

Here are resources and articles on the Nøkk:

This is fascinating Szyvagr!

Have you thought of asking Ash though CH Helpdesk if he knows anything more about the Nøkken? Would be very interesting to hear of his thoughts/experiences I am sure. :8)

I've been thinking about in the past, to be honest. But then put the thought on ice. I've been a bit curious as of what Arts Nøkken would fall in. That is, if they're DA or BA. But seeing as both the Huldra and Trolls are DA.

There's probably a possibility that Nøkken as potential spirit companion could be DA, too.
