The Iku-Turso, or ‘the eternal Turso’ is a malicious sea beast from Finnish folklore. Their modern word for octopus is derived from this creature’s name, BUT iku-turso is an old word for ‘walrus’ in Finnish. I’m wondering was enormous prehistoric walrusesque monstrosity attacked ancient Finns to create this legend. : #mythology #ikuturso #finnish #monster #sea #watermonster #concept #design #art #artistsoninstagram #sketch #sketchbook #blackandwhite #ink #pen #walrus #folklore https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlj_o8jTZn/?igshid=dkchmkx30txc
