Sir Nicolas, The Narwhal - Side view (pattern by DeliciousCrochet)

Narwhals must be one of the most rare and fascinating sea creatures. Acording to Inuit mythology, the narwhals were created when a woman, who was hunting whales, was dragged into the ocean after her harpoon had struck a large animal. Then, she was transformed into a narwhal herself, and her hair into its long spiral tusk, which is one of their most special characteristic.

El Narval debe ser una de las criaturas marinas más exóticas y fascinantes. Acorde a la mitología Inuit, los narvales fueron creados cuando una mujer, que cazaba ballenas con su arpón, fue arrastrada hacia las profundidades del océano, luego que el mismo impactara en un gran animal. Entonces, ella se transformó en un narval y su cabello en el enorme colmillo en espiral, que es una de las características mas especiales de este animal.
