What is a huldre; check out the wikipedia entry for lots of info: [link]

She is basically a creature from Scandinavian folklore, shaped as a woman with a cows tail, she lures men in the woods to mate with her etc etc. I gave this doll to my mum while I was visiting my parents in Norway recently, mainly to stop her from going on the intarwebz and spending all her monies on BJD, but also because I had luggage limit issues when I was packing up to leave after some *hrrmf* frivolous shopping.
