Liarosa's cousin Marikoll has an appearance that will be obvious to Scandinavians, but maybe not so many others; Marikoll is a hulder, a forest nymph belived to be of troll or fairy relation. And yes, mythologically she's supposed to have a tail.

So.... I recently discovered that the hodag was a thing, and I might be a little obsessed. ... He's described as having the head of a frog, teeth like an elephant, lateral horns like an ox, stocky legs with huge claws, a spiny back like a dinosaur, and long tail with spears at the end. He has fine green hair, glowing red eyes like a sunset, and a mischievous (and sometimes malicious) demeanor. Standing about 30 inches tall, he eats water snakes, mud turtles, fish and sometimes white bulldogs. Said to snatch and devour prize fish right off the fisherman's line, and often blamed for missing objects such as keys and sunglasses, he's basically the scapegoat fae-creature of the north woods and I adore him. ... #hodag #folklore #northwoods #sketch #doodle #drawing #hodagcreature #mythicalcreatures #folklorecreatures #faecreatures #fantasycreatures #folk #thehodag #hodagart https://www.instagram.com/p/CdbHveyu4C1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
