A view of a nattmara fossil as I found it in the forest..
Available at my Etsy Shop!

This creature I have created myself with inspiration from Nordic folklore.
The word “nattmara” is Swedish for "night mare" and a mara/mare can be described as a kind of demon.
At first glance the nattmara looks a lot like a very thin human woman, although some say it has fur, horns and big tusks.
The nattmara can also change form into a bat. However, if one takes a closer look at the fossil it can be noticed
that the skeleton is in fact not a bat, but something else. Some people think they have found skeletons of small angels.

The nattmara is a malicious creature, visiting people in the night when they sleep and planting terrifying dreams inside their minds.
Sometimes it sits on it's victims chest, paralyzing them if they wake up, whilst they can not see what is holding them down.
Sometimes in these moments the nattmara will become visible before its victim and the sight of the nattmara might be even worse than the bad dreams it inflicts.

The fossil is made of resin (plastic) and have been painted with acrylic colors to look like real stone and coated with a clear varnish.
Fake moss have also been applied. It is delivered in a wooden box and the fossil measures 9x12 cm.

Thanks for looking!
