The mythological monsters of the Netherlands (2025)

This map, created by Neil Parkinson of Púca Printhouse in 2025, shows the monsters of the mythology of the Netherlands.

Among the many myths that the author recovers in this map, some of the most iconic are worth highlighting:

  • Blauwe Gerrit (Gerrit the Blue)
  • Capirussa
  • Elf-Rib
  • Varende Vrouw (The woman navigator)
  • Witte Wieven (The white ladies)
  • Kabouterkoning Kyrië (The Gnome King Kyrië)
  • Bokkenrijders

Many of the myths depicted are typical of a much wider region than the one in which they are located on the map.
