You can always recognize them by the tail, the pointed ears and the broad nose.~ John Bauer, Mythological Creatures, Mystical Creatures, Woodland Creatures, Magical Creatures, Children's Book Illustration, Fantasy World, Scandinavia, Mythical Creatures

Jonny Andvik: Fossegrimen. The Fossegrimen is a spirit who lives in waterfalls and is neither good nor evil - unlike his kinsman, the Nøkken who is both dangerous and clever. The Fossegrimen is a magnificent musician who plays the fiddle day and night. If an aspiring fiddle player ventures to seek his help, the Fossegrimen will gladly help, for a price of course. He must go to the waterfall and offer the Fossegrimen a nice meal, usually a good plump joint of meat.
