Moranta

folkloric, benevolent beast of the mountains where svanhildr lives. queen of eating snow and raising a dumbass child (kuura)

according to legend, moranta is a guardian of the fenloch mountain range and saves travellers from blizzards during winter. kuura is stupid and accidentally causes avalanches when moranta is distracted. they're said to retreat into the highest peaks in the warmer months, hibernating until the first frosts. sheep, cow, and goat folk have a strong affinity with moranta
