Hi All,
From A-Z, magical creatures abound. This forum might be a great place to learn about them. I thought I'd summarize one daily from 'The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures' (feel free to join in or comment).

Nacken
The Nacken is a Swedish water monster that appears in the shape of a white horse of great beauty, only its hooves are reversed. At other times, the Nacken can be in the shape of a handsome youth from the waist up, but from the waist down he has the body and legs of a horse, like a centaur.
