Pronunciation: Neeck-ore
Old Norse:Nicor
Anglo Saxon:Nixie
A Nykar is a water spirit usually associated with rivers and believed responsible for drowning and floods. The nixies are generally thought of as malevolent creatures preying on human flesh and they should be avoided. Many areas of Europe once felt these powerful water demons demanded a sacrifice each year, least they flood the fields or drown someone.
