Näkki

In Finnish mythology, a Näkki is a malicious spirit that resides in murky pools, wells and under bridges that cross rivers.

He is principally known for pulling young children into the depths, if they lean over bridge railings, or otherwise look into water surfaces to see their own reflection. Näkki is a fine example of a spirit enlisted by parents to guide children away from unsafe practises.


Näkki is also a brand of condoms.
