The Näcken is a minor antagonist in the 2023 action-adventure video game Bramble: The Mountain King. Once a human violinist, the Näcken was mercilessly beaten, causing him to played a cursed melody, causing the villager to dance themselves to death.

Appearance[]

The Näcken looks like a cross between Gollum and Sadako, standing about 12 feet tall with grey skin, long, wet, stringy black hair, and greenish-white eyes. His teeth are long and sharp and his whole body is covered in moss, grass, and dirt.

Biography[]

When he was once alive, the Näcken loved playing his violin. He wanted people to appreciate his talent, only to receive insults and beatings from his neighbors in return. The only person who did not dare to bully him was a kind young woman whom he fell in love with. However, the beatings and bullying got so bad one day that Näcken's rage eventually got the better of him.

Playing melodies that were cursed and outright forbidden, he marched into the village and forced everyone to dance until their bones and flesh were worn down. Eventually, they passed away, leaving behind swaying bodies that were still attempting to move to the then-human Näcken's melodies.

Unfortunately, the woman he fell in love with was one of the casualties. Heartbroken by the loss and ashamed of his blunder, he left the village and lived by the lake, wallowing in his misery, where he continues to entice others with his lethal music.

Näcken first encountered Olle while playing his violin by the lake, and the music accidentally drew the boy in. Näcken instantly attempted to apprehend him, but Olle evaded the attempt. From then on, he followed the boy as he attempted to flee. Näcken couldn't leave the water for long, so he attempted different techniques to capture Olle before he got too far into the forest. Their chase came to an end when they both fell into a raging river and went over a waterfall. Olle survived, but Näcken was killed after landing on a rock.
