show more- Stekkjastaur (Sheep-Cote Clod): The first to arrive, Stekkjastaur seeks out sheep's milk and mischief, leaving a mess in his wake. Beware, careless shepherds, your woolly charges may not be safe!
- Giljagaur (Gully Gawk): This lanky lad sneaks into milk cellars, pilfering cream and curds with a sly grin. Remember to lock your pantry doors, dairy enthusiasts!
- Stúfur (Stubby): Short and stout, Stúfur has a sweet tooth, sniffing out and devouring lingering bits of leftover pancakes. Better finish your breakfast, or there may be none left!
- Þvörusleikir (Spoon-Licker): With a name that leaves little to the imagination, Þvörusleikir seeks out leftover scraps in bowls and spoons, leaving tongues wagging and kitchens gleaming. Lick your dish before he does!
- Pottaskefill (Pot-Licker): Following close behind, Pottaskefill scours empty cooking pots, ensuring not a single morsel escapes his eager tongue. Clean your cookware promptly, or this culinary scavenger may strike!
- Askasleikir (Bowl-Licker): Similar to his brother, Askasleikir feasts on leftovers in bowls and troughs, leaving nary a drop behind. Fill your bowls wisely, lest they become his midnight snack!
- Hurðaskellir (Door-Slammer): This loud lad revels in slamming doors and rattling windows, sending shivers down spines and disrupting peaceful slumbers. Secure your latches, for a restless night awaits with Hurðaskellir on the prowl!
- Skyrgjálar (Skyr-Gobbler): Skyr, a traditional Icelandic yogurt, is Skýrgjálar's weakness. He sneaks into homes, pilfering bowls and leaving empty platters in his wake. Guard your refrigerators well, yogurt lovers!
- Bjúgnakráttir (Sausage Snatcher): Be warned, sausage lovers! Bjúgnakráttir has an insatiable appetite for these festive treats, disappearing with them in the blink of an eye. Hide your sausages with cunning, or face a meaty misfortune!
- Gluggagætir (Window Peeper): Peeking through windows and spying on unsuspecting families, Gluggagætir is a curious soul, bringing a touch of voyeurism to the Yuletide season. Keep your curtains drawn, or risk an awkward encounter!
- Gáttaþefur (Gate Snatcher): This sly elf delights in stealing gates and fences, leaving farmsteads with open borders and bewildered farmers. Secure your property well, for Gáttaþefur's nimble fingers are quick to snatch!
- Jólasveinar (Santa's Servants): Not all Yule Lads indulge in mischief. Jólasveinar assist Santa Claus, preparing gifts and ensuring a smooth holiday delivery. Keep an eye out for these helpful elves!
- Grýla (The Yule Lads' Mother): Lurking in the mountains, Grýla is a monstrous troll, rumored to eat naughty children on Christmas Eve. Behave yourselves, young ones, or face a visit from this fearsome figure!
