Huldrer



=== Hulder are supernatural forest beings known for their stunning beauty. Most often females, hulder lure humans of the opposite sex into the forest at certain times during a multi-year pattern, seducing them into sex. If the huldrer deems this sex unsatisfactory, it kills the victim. ===

History
In the chatroom Rural Idaho, Sam and Dean hunted a huldra on their first hunt with Valdyra. It was the first time the creature was introduced to the Orchard canon. Later, Valdyra became a huldra herself due to picking up a cursed object she found with the huldra she hunted. Sam and Dean reversed the effects by destroying the cursed object.

Myth
In Norse myth hulder are said to have either the tail of an animal, or a back made of bark. Sometimes hulder are also described as being stunningly beautiful, but when they turn their back a hole is visible. Hulder can be both male or female, and when pleased, are docile creatures willing to help hunters on their way. However if angered the hulder can kill or eat the victim.

In the Orchard canon hulder design and persona is heavily based off the designs from the mobile game Year Walk. The huldra's song is even referenced.

Abilities
Hulder are one with the forest and are physically relatively weak, but have complete control over their forest and the creatures in it. They can regrow plants and animals pertaining to their element, and have the ability to revive dead wildlife. Hulder can also put members of the opposite sex into a trance, eventually luring them to their forest to have sex with them, and perhaps kill and eat them.

It is said that if a hulder blows down the barrel of a gun, that gun will never miss a shot.
