Scandinavian myths are full of strange creatures and beings that have evolved over centuries from passed down oral traditions of Norse Mythology. But beyond the legends there is common belief that some creatures of ancient lore are in fact real living entities, whether in our realm.. or another. 

From the remote mountain ranges of Norway to the dense forests of Sweden and vast fjords of Iceland, Elves, Dwarves, and Trolls are said to reside, hidden from mankind.
