Mörkö, or ‘the Groke’, is a bell-shaped she-monster with a ghastly smile of ivory teeth. A fictional character in the beloved Moomin stories of Tove Jansson, Mörkö embodies a profoundly misunderstood, feared and rejected creature. Her touch turns everything to ice and she kills the ground she walks on. Hopelessly harmful by nature, she remains apart from others, and hence forever tied to a tragic fate of loneliness.
