The Mörksuggan! A folklore creature from Dalarna, Sweden. The "dark sow" or "pig of darkness" that lives in the deep, dark, quiet forest. A protector of the home and devourer of harmful spirits! As you can see, the Mörksuggan balances delicately on a perch, using her tail's weight as ballast.





Below, you can read the story of the Mörksuggan. Every Mörksuggan I make comes with this handy sonnet-book to explain the origin of the fierce beast!
