Each of the figures, gods, and other symbols in Nordic mythology happen to be powerful symbols. Just like the mythological tales in many cultures, Nordic tales also teach us important lessons about morals, values, and ethics.

Nixes in folklore became water sprites [15] who try to lure people into the water. The males can assume many different shapes, including that of a human, a fish, and a snake. The females bear the tail of a fish. When they are in human form, they can be recognised by the wet hem of their clothes. The Nixes are portrayed as malicious in some stories but harmless and friendly in others.Lindow, John (1997). Murder and vengeance among the gods: Baldr in Scandinavian mythology, Edition 262.

Animals are relatively commonplace in Viking stories, from Odin’s ravens to the wolf Fenrir. Perhaps the most significant cats referenced by old Norse tales are Freyja or “Freya’s” cats.Wells, Marie (2013), "Asbjørnsen, Peter Christen, and Jørgen Moe", in Murray, Christopher John (ed.), Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era, 1760-1850, Routledge, pp.35–36, ISBN 978-1135455798 In the video game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, the Danish operator Nøkk is named after the mythical creature.
