The Draug: A Creature for Vaesen
And as bad as he had been to deal with in life¸ he was a great deal worse after he was dead¸ for he walked again a great deal.
- Laxdaela Saga
Draugar are a type of revenant¸ most common in Iceland but known across the Mythic North. They are presented here for Vaesen with descriptions of powers drawn from the Icelandic sagas¸ plus case studies of four legendary individuals and a description of a common sub-type: the haugbui or mound-dweller¸ which inspired Tolkien's barrow-wights.
