The Giantess Who Haunts Icelandic Folklore

Meet the Skessa — a giantess from Icelandic folklore with roots stretching back over a thousand years. In old stories she’s a powerful, dangerous spirit… and in Grove Keeper, she becomes a fast, ferocious glass cannon who hits like a truck but can’t take much punishment. This Short breaks down the myth, the history, the darker sexist connotations of the word skessa, and how we brought her into our game. If you love mythology, creature design, or just cool units with big personalities, follow along — more Grove Keeper creatures are on the way. 🌿⚔️ Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3255590/Grove_Keeper/ More updates soon!
