Nøkk

OVERVIEW:

Nøkks are a type of Vanir that belong to the House of Many Waters and live mostly in the northern seas and Pangera. They are described as being eight-foot-long, nightmarish beings similar to mer males. They have green-gray skin, "a jutting lower jaw with a too-wide, lipless mouth full of needle-thin teeth," and "four-fingered hands [that end] in daggerlike claws" (Ch 55). Like deep-water fish, they have milky eyes and translucent tails. Air is extremely lethal to nøkks.
