== History ==
He inhabits Scandinavia's lakes and rivers, and from them creates storms and hurricanes.
In the dark lake around the island of Rugen, he capsizes the boats of sinners and occasionally throws the ships to the tops of the fir trees.
He is the origin of the Teutonic water-men and water-women, nymphs who were worshipped in pre-Christian Germany, particularly the nymphs of the Elbe and Gaal. The nymph of the Elbe was worshipped in Magdeburg/Megdeburch and inspired fear in some. She was said to often go to the market in the guise of a noble-born girl who could be recognised by a wet corner of her apron. 
== Appearance ==
He generally takes the form of a kelpie.
