In the Sami folklore, Staalo is the dangerous winter giant, but that is not all he is. Staalo was believed to be the embodiment of darkness and winter. All kinds of things that people found frightening or wear scared of. This made Staalo even more scary and otherworldly because he represented the fears that lived deep inside people's unconscious. I hope you this story from the far north.
