The Bäckahäst [Swedish folklore]
Evil aquatic horse spirits are a common trope in Germanic, Nordic and British folktales. The Scottish Kelpie, the Icelandic Nykur, the Norwegian Nøkk etc are all variations of (and derived from) the same story. In Sweden, this role is given to the Näck: an evil supernatural horse creature that convinces people to mount it and ends up drowning the victim.
In southern Sweden however, the Näck is replaced by the Bäckahäst, a similar monster. Originating in Skåne, this creature appears as a pale white horse (although this isn’t set in stone and some artists portray it as black) but otherwise resembles the Näck in most aspects, sometimes the two terms are even used as synonyms. But there are some regional differences. Interestingly, the Bäckahäst seems less dangerous than the more traditional Kelpie-like creatures. There are stories of these beings being tamed simply by putting a bridle on them, although they could also be forced into submission by using iron and steel. Once tamed, the creature could be used for ploughing or other agricultural activities which it excelled at because it needed neither rest nor food.
The name ‘Bäckahäst’ translate roughly to ‘stream horse’ or ‘brook horse’. The creature is also related to the Sjörå from northern Sweden.
Egerkrans’ popular modern book ‘Nordiska Väsen’ describes the Bäckahäst as having a mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth and claims that it has a particular fondness for human children, preferring them over other prey.
Interestingly, according to Höök, an old Swedish tradition claims that Bäckahäst is only able to hurt unwashed people. Clean people who have recently bathed cannot be harmed by the monster. Supposedly, this is because supernatural monsters were traditionally associated with filth and a lack of hygiene. Being clean and hygienic would hold evil at bay, and you can’t really blame people for believing in that superstition because many stories of evil spirits at the time were associated with real diseases. If illnesses were the work of evil monsters and personal hygiene was an effective tool against illness, it only makes sense that proper hygiene was thought to also keep evil spirits at bay.

Hello,
I'm a musicaly inclined merperson. This isnt normally a problem undersea, but . . . I like the violin, and it doesent like the water. . . It wss quite a feat getting one. And keeping it dry. Old wood n all that.
I've taken to practising in shallow rivers here and there. And, unfortionately, caused somewhat of a scandal in the sapio community. Since I, as most merfolk do, not wear a shirt. This has turned out to be a big coultural "no-no" topside.
I hope I do not need to state the obvious; we are not indecent, we just do things differently. Which is why I stay midrif down in the water. And of course cover up any particularly sensitive parts above that in our traditional way.
Even so. There has stirred up "folk-lore" about me. As "the naked one" or "the fiddler in the river". . . And now I havent been able to practise because of. . . embarresment.
I love playing the violin. And, wearing a shirt could work, but getting me, it, and my violin is the tricky part. As my reputation is tarnished "for fear of drowning" its even harder hard to get the logistics together.
And well. I could find something the sapio's wear for water work. But Ive been informed by Drögr, a fellow water dweller with an even worse reputation than mine, that such garments have further "scandalous stigma" accosiated about them worn above water. Their norms are apparently very complex about such things.
Im confused. Have. . . Am I. . . Indecent?. Should I just quit my passion?. I've only played as deep into their public woods as I could get. And I fear the violin would get hurt by the damp from all the extra further travel. And I wish to stress, I wear "our" clithes. Nit just theirs.
Thank you in advance
Näck
You said it yourself, reader – you are not “indecent”, you just do things differently. There is no reason at all you should feel yourself bound by the norms of a culture to which you do not belong.
Social taboos around nudity vary wildly from culture to culture even in the sapio world. The people who object to your clothing choices are not referring to any objective reality, or even universal sapio custom. They are, in fact, so profoundly blinkered by their own cultural lens that they're incapable of accepting the existence of other social norms.
It hardly needs to be said that this rigid world-view is not going to serve them well in life. But that is not your problem. You aren't responsible for managing other people's feelings, and you certainly don't have to adopt their customs and habits just to make them more comfortable.
You aren't doing anything wrong, reader. The naked body is not inherently obscene, no matter what genus it belongs to. And you do not have to cover yourself for the sake of other people's shame.

I think you’re mashing up kelpies and Nøkk together in your head but you’ve gotten the closest to actually guessing right. I was referencing the nøkk/näck with that one.
I feel like a lot of you on here would be tricked by a water spirit trying to drown you

Astaxanthin Market - Segmentation And Analysis By Recent Trends, Development And Growth By Regions To, Analysis, Forecast To 2033
The Astaxanthin market has experienced substantial growth in recent years, driven by increasing consumer awareness of its numerous health benefits and expanding applications across various industries. Astaxanthin, a red pigment found in algae, seafood, and some plants, is a powerful antioxidant and has been hailed for its potential to support heart health, reduce inflammation, boost skin health, and enhance exercise performance.
The global astaxanthin market is predicted to register a robust CAGR of 14.9% over the forecast period, as per FMI’s analysis. The industry’s size is anticipated to increase from US$ 910.3 million in 2023 to US$ 3,636.8 million by 2033 end.
Demand for astaxanthin is projected to rise on account of its multiple applications in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, feed industries, etc. Moreover, the distinct color and properties of astaxanthin are also propelling its demand in food coloring, commercial aquacultures, and other applications.

I can add on some stuff to Bäckahästen:
While usually a shimmering white it could also be grey or black
When it was harnessed successfully it was because of the iron in the bridle, but if given the opportunity it would take off with the person who harnessed them and drown them
It would try to trick or drag down travellers or riders into the water to down them
Or if it was feeling mischievous (which in some tales was more common) it would take off in such a speed with their rider(s) that their vision would go black and then toss them off when they were far away from their destination with no way to get back
It said to have sharp teeth
Because of its similarities in behaviour with Näcken some say it's the same creature who have shapeshifted (Näcken is a handsome male spirit who tricks people into the water with his music, usually depicted nude due to his name (näck is pretty much synonymous with naked) but in the stories he is actually finely dressed and charming)
It was known to trick children into climbing up on its back, and no matter how many children got on it there would always be space for one more because its back got longer. The children would then be unable to get off Bäckahästen and it would take off to disappear into the river/steam/lake with the children. The children supposedly usually got away because at least one of them would scream something along the lines of "Jesus it's fast!" and that christian word would make it toss off the kids
Tbh with most nordic (or at least swedish) fae creatures from when Christianity was mandatory here usually have these weaknesses: christian words and symbols, and iron. I've heard stories about how men would stab a knife into the ground while fishing to protect themselves from eg Näcken, and that people would leave open iron scissors by doors to prevent trolls and other evil from entering ✂️ (so lesbians if you're in the closet but still want to use the scissors symbol you can always refer to these myths and claim it's a symbol for protection against evil, and maybe that it's two scissors for double protection or as a good luck charm or something)
Water Horses: more than just kelpies
Water horses as a mythological creatures appear in Celtic and Scandinavian folklore. They’re shape-shifting water spirits, who lure and drag their unsuspecting victims to their demise. However, there are many types of water horses, differing from each other not only by places of origin but in behaviour. What they all have in common is: inhabiting bodies of water and taking the form of a horse. I’ll try my best to present the best known and least known ones, in simple to understand fashion. In advance, I want to apologies for any mistakes made. I’m only one person doing this partly as a story research and partly as my love/fascination for those creatures. I advise taking this post as a starting point and encourage to look into the folklore yourselves. Also, I apologies for any grammatical mistakes, English is my second language.
Kelpie
Location: Scotland Other names: x Body of water: streams and rivers
the best known of all water horse
appears as a powerful and beautiful black, dark grey or white horse, with reversed hooves and, in some sources, equipped with a bridle and sometimes a saddle
if the kelpie was already wearing a bridle, “exorcism” might be achieved by removing it, which would be endowed with magical properties, like healing, and if brandished towards someone, was able to transform that person into a horse or pony
can shape-shift into a human figures, with water weeds in hair, such as old wizened man; rough, shaggy man; handsome young man wearing a silver necklace, which was its bridle; or a tall woman dressed in green
in the form of handsome young man, said to seeks “human companionship” and will woo a pretty young girl which is determined to take for its wife
if mounted, its skin becomes adhesive, in stories where a hand or a finger got stuck to the creature, the only way to break free was to cut it off
most stories say they only drown their victims, but some say they tear them apart and devour them, leave the entrails to washout to the water’s edge
could entice victims onto its back by singing
some sources say, it can have a offspring with a horse, which would be impossible to drown and had ears shorter then normal
could be k*lled with a silver bullet or heated iron, and after dying, it’ll turn into turf and soft mass, like jellyfish
could be tamed with well placed halter, some sources say in should have sign of a cross on it
the noise a kelpie’s tail makes when it entered water sounds like thunder
its howls and wails, as a warning of approaching storms
Each-uisge
Location: Scotland, Ireland, Isle of Man Other names: each-uisce/aughisky/ech-ushkya (Irish), cabyll-ushtey (Manx) Body of water: sea, sea lochs and fresh water lochs
the name means “water horse”, literally
has been described as “perhaps the fiercest and most dangerous of all the water-horses”, being unpredictable in nature
can shape-shift into fine horse, pony, a handsome man (water weeds, sand or mud in hair) or an enormous bird (such as a boobrie/great auk)
tears apart and devours the entire body of its victim, except for the liver, lungs or heart (depending on the source), and some times pieces of clothing are also present
preys not only on humans but also cattle and sheep
could be lured out off the water by the smell of roasted meat
can be k*lled with red-hot iron and after being k*lled, leaves jelly-like substance
repelled by silver and fire
sometimes comes out of the water to gallop on land and, despite the danger, if caught and tamed then it will make the finest of steeds
most likely to come out in November
can be ride safety on interior land as long as they don’t smell or gets a glimpse of water
because of their pr*datory hunger, they may even turn on their own kind, if the scent of a human rider is strong enough on the monster’s body
Ceffyl Dŵr
Location: Wales Other names: x Body of water: mountain pools, waterfalls and seashore (few sources)
most stories say they’re fresh water but some sources say there is a salt water version, differing mostly in colour
its characterisation depends on the region, in North Wales its represented as being rather formidable with fiery eyes and a dark forbidding presence, while in South Wales its seen more positively as, at worst a cheeky pest to travellers and at best, luminous, fascinating and sometimes a winged steed
appears as a pony or cob sized horse, dappled grey or sand colour, with hooves facing backwards; or large chestnut or piebald horse
though it appears solid, it can evaporate into mist or grown wings
some sources say, it could transform into frogs
can k*ll its victims by trampling them on the pathways they frequent; or by convincing someone to ride them, only to drown them; or fly them into the air only to turn to mist, dropping the unfortunate rider to his death
like with kelpies, they can be tamed by use of a well placed bridle, though it’s much harder, due to their ability to turn intangible
in some sources its connected with sea-storm: appearing with sea-foam white coat in storm seasons; dapple, grey or white, clumsily stomping about in the ocean waves prior to the storm (possibly brewing up the very storm its sighting precedes); and as large chestnut or piebald horse trotting along the coast after storm
Nykur
Location: Iceland Other names: x Body of water: lake, river, stream and sea
appears as a grey horse with backwards hooves and ears
could change itself into all forms, living or dead, e.g. lambswool or peeled barley
repelled by speaking its name or a synonyms of it (Nennir, Nóni, Vatnaskratti (“water demon”) or Kumbur)
appears on the lake-shore, with half its body in the water, and looks to be quite tame to its unsuspecting victims
if mounted, its skin becomes adhesive and its will ride into the water and drown its victim
its neighing is said to sound like ice cracking
could breed with a horse (giving birth like a normal mare, albeit in the water), its offspring were indistinguishable from those of a normal horse but had a tendency to lie down when splashed with water or when led through belly-deep water
Tangie
Location: Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands Other names: tongie Body of water: fresh and salt water
the name comes from ’tang’, which comes from Old Norse “þang” meaning ’seaweed’ (probably referring to seaweed of genus Fucus)
appears as a coarse-haired, apple-green pony or a black horse with seaweed or shells in its mane
in other forms, appears as an aged man or merman, also covered in seaweeds
known for terrorizing lonely travellers, especially young women on roads at night near the lochs, whom it will abduct and devour under the water
said to be able to cause derangement in humans and animals
best known for playing a major role in the Shetland legend of Black Eric, a sheep rustler
Nuggle
Location: Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands (few mentions) Other names: neugle, njogel, nuggie, noggle, nogle, nygel, shoepultie/shoopiltee Body of water: rivers, streams and lochs, beside watermills
nocturnal
always male, appearing as a attractive, generously fed and well-conditioned (Shetland) pony or horse, with wheel-like tail which it hides between its back-legs or arched over its back, and sleek coat from a deep bluish-grey through to a very light, almost white, grey
can take many forms, but never of a human
never strays very far from water
fairly gentle disposition, being more prone to playing pranks and making mischief rather than having malicious intents, like stopping the watermill’s wheel
some stories state, only magical beings called Finns (Finfolk) were able to ride a nuggle without coming to any harm
Bäckahäst
Location: Scandinavian Other names: brook horse Body of water: rivers, lakes and ponds
appears as a majestic white (sometimes with spotted sides) horse
appears particularly during foggy weather
could be harnessed and made to plough, either because it was trying to trick a person or because the person had tricked the horse into it
Cabyll-Ushtey
Location: Isle of Man, Ireland Other names: glashtyn, cabbyl-ushtey, capall uisce (possibly Irish or Old Irish) Body of water: sea
there are very few tales about it
very similar to each-uisge, but not as dangerous
appears as a pale grey horse, but capable of change into a young man
mostly known for seizing cows and tear them to pieces, stampeding horses, and stealing children
If there are any mistakes or missing informations or questions, feel free to ask.

Hello Kukuhich-san! I REALLY LOVE YOUR THSC AU💕💓💖❤️💝💗💞💘
In your THSC AU, what kind of person is Sven? Is he not human or something? I wanted to know very much!
(Sorry if my English is not correct, I use a translation tool)
Im my AU Sven is näck. But unlike his mythological prototype, he isn’t tied to water, so he can walk around freely like a human. In water he turns into hideous water creature reminding a mutant half-fish half-human. Also he is next candidate to Toppat’s leadership, trained by Reginald himself.
(Sorry rn i dont have pics, fait for big post about toppats)

I realized that I have never read anything about what you’re supposed to do if you’d like to NOT go to your watery grave the first time some hot näck plays a violin solo in your general vicinity, but alas, the internet has failed me.
All it told me is that if I don’t want to be kidnapped, it’s better to not listen to music in public. How you’re supposed to avoid getting kidnapped by someone who brings his own violin is not explained.
