Thank you very much!
I’ve actually found steampunk to be way easier to use than I thought. I just throw a bunch of techy, clockworky, leathery stuff together and hope for the best, and usually it works fine.

Yeah, we do. I’m not that good with Finnish mythology either, to tell you the truth, but Näkki (Näck with Finnish spelling) I do know about.

Well, I feel I have neglected Finnish mythology here. Here’s a massive sea monster to make up for that.

Iku-Turso
This beast, thought to have been the last remaining specimen of its species, could be spotted in the Gulf of Bothnia off the Finnish coast until the early 18th century, when it died and washed ashore near the city of Oulu. While it wasn’t nearly as hostile as the sailors of the Baltic sea used to claim, it did destroy at least four Swedish, six Finnish and two Polish vessels, presumably out of pure curiosity. Large portions of the creature’s skeleton have now been lost, but most of what remains is kept at the Finnish Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of Finland, both in Helsinki.
