Hiisi (Finnish) refers to nature spirits or demonic beings in Finnic mythology, originally associated with sacred wild places like forests, hills, and rocky terrain, later evolving into trickster-like or evil entities similar to goblins or trolls, often depicted in folklore as antagonists to humans, appearing in games like Noita, and even as names for moons of an asteroid (47171 Lempo). They embody the dangers and wildness of nature, inhabiting untamed areas and sometimes stealing from people, but are repelled by cultivated land.
