Nykorin (The Nix) is a dangerous sea creature that lures people close, before dragging them into the lake. It can take many forms, but often as a beautiful grey horse. It is in many lakes, but here it is Leitisvatn.
Its beauty tempts people to touch it. But when they do, they get stuck and are trapped, after which Nykorin drag them under the water and drowns them.
The Nykurin´s weakness is that if someone calls its name aloud, the creature will lose all of its power and retreat to the depths from which it came.
