Moss Folk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Scandinavian mythology, moss folk were forest-dwelling fairies. According to legend, these fairies would occasionally borrow items from people but would always compensate the owners generously. In certain myths, the moss folk would ask humans for breast milk to feed their young. These tales gave rise to certain superstitions.
