ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Huldra

So imagine a fairy tale creature called a Huldra. She looks like a beautiful lady in a long dress, with long hair and a pretty face. But if you look closely, you might notice something strange about her back. She has a big, bushy tail - just like a fox!

The Huldra is a magical creature from Scandinavian folklore. She likes to play tricks on humans, but mostly she just wants to be left alone in the forest. She lives in the woods and takes care of the animals and plants that live there.

Sometimes, hunters in the forest will see a Huldra and try to catch her. But beware! If you try to catch a Huldra, she might curse you or lead you on a wild goose chase through the forest.

In some stories, a Huldra might fall in love with a human and try to marry him. But if the man sees her tail, she will disappear and never be seen again.

So that is the Huldra. A magical, forest-dwelling creature with a fox tail and a mischievous spirit. Just remember, if you ever see one, be respectful and keep your distance.
