7Here is a list of mythical creatures beginning with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent and continually updating.
Antero Vipunen (Finnish)
Antero Vipunen is a giant who appears in Finnish mythology and Kalevala folk poetry. He is buried underground and possesses very valuable spells and knowledge. Antero Vipunen, primeval giant who gave charms to the culture hero Vainamoinen. Once, wanting to build a boat, Vainamoinen asked Tapio, the forest god, to supply him with the necessary woods. But all of the trees except the oak refused to offer themselves.
The god-hero Vainamoinen has a spell with three words or luotes missing. In order to obtain them, he goes to wake up the sleeping Vipunen by pushing sharp stakes into his grave and through his mouth and stomach. Vainamoinen hits Vipunen in the stomach so hard that he gives up the luotes to get rid of the stomach ache.
