Tulikettu

Tulikettu is responsible for the revontulet, or the fox fires, that light up the northern skies. During the day, they appear as black foxes with extraordinarily long, fluffy tails and a twinkling fire in their eyes. Only after the sun sets does their fur turn pure glowing white. When running, their thick tail flows behind them, churning up snowflakes and sparking in contact with hanging branches. The light catches on the swirling snowflakes, producing a shimmering collage of colors that floods the sky. They are the fastest of arctic creatures, leaving only a trail of light to mark their path.
