Creature #17: Fylgja
In Norse mythology, a Fylfja is an animal spirit that accompanies the soul of a person. It might be in the form of an eagle, wolf or another animal, or it might be a troll. The Fylgja is drawn to a person who has a character with an affinity to the form in question, apearing in dreams and visions to give messages. The name is also used of the 'fetch' or spiritual-double of a person. If this is seen by another, it signifies that they are either out of their body in a dream or else they have left this life.
