8. GRÝLA

山妖之母

All the Yule Lads answer to Grýla, their mother. She predates the Yule Lads in Icelandic legend as the ogress who kidnaps, cooks, and eats children who don't obey their parents. She only became associated with Christmas in the 17th century, when she was assigned to be the mother of the Yule Lads. According to legend, Grýla had three different husbands and 72 children, all who caused trouble ranging from harmless mischief to murder. As if the household wasn't crowded enough, the Yule Cat also lives with Grýla. This ogress is so much of a troublemaker that the Onion blamed her for the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano.

所有的圣诞山妖（之前提到的）都听从于Grýla他们的母亲。在冰岛传说中，她比冰岛13巨魔出现的要早，她是一个绑架，将捉来的小孩子做成菜，并吃掉她们的女妖魔。直到17世纪它被认为是13巨魔的母亲，才与圣诞节有关系。故事中她有三个丈夫，以及72个孩子，每个都惹麻烦，从无伤大雅的恶作剧到谋杀。就好像整个故事里面的人物不够多一样，圣诞猫也和这个女妖魔住在一起。鉴于她是个无恶不作女妖魔，洋葱资讯认为她是导致2010年Eyjafjallajökull火山爆发的罪魁祸首。
