Strömkarlen, 1884

Nix (also known as Näcken or Nixie) is a fictional water creature in German and Scandinavian folklore, usually shown in human form.

The Scandinavian Näcken was a male who lured women and children to drown in lakes or streams, while playing the violin. However, he could also show himself in the form of a Kelpie, bäckahästen (the brook horse).

The German Nixie is akin to the Celtic melusina, a kind of riverine mermaid who lures men to drown.
