	'''Fossegrim''' ("Waterfall Spirit" in Norwegian) or '''Strömkarlen''' ("The River Man" in Swedish) are [[fey]] spirits or [[troll]]s from Scandinavian folklore associated with rivers and waterfalls. They are depicted as male spirits, looking either like incredibly handsome young men, or ugly fish-men, no in-between. Traditionally, they have an incredible knack for playing the fiddle, though most older art depicts them with harps instead, because fiddles aren't classical enough.
