Näcken is a breed of water-living creatures who dwells in lakes, rivers and in old water mills, but they seem to prefer waterfalls. They are shapeshifters who tries to lure people (mostly women and children) into the water, where they will be drowned and devoured. Often they take the guise of a handsome man, a wealthy gentleman, a musician or an army officer in bright uniform, but they can also be seen as a cute white horse. In their natural shape they probably look more like Gollum in LotR. Before fishing or swimming in waters infested by Näcken, some sacrifice should be made - money or tobacco - or a spell should be cast to drive the entity away. Näcken is an excellent fiddler and many musicians have paid him to teach them to play. But those lessons are very dangerous and so are the songs learned by Näcken. Some of his songs can make people dance untill they literary fall to pieces...
The music is not related to the Vikings - if you want to find connections it is to European music traditions from 18th century with a lot of Swedish twists merged into it.
