Vanatühi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Estonian mythology, Vanatühi ("Old empty one", or alternately, Vanapagan, "Old pagan") is a/the devil or god of the underworld, a giant farmer who is more stupid than malevolent. He is famously outwitted by his servant Kaval Ants (Crafty Hans). He is also the worst enemy of Toell the Great, hero of Oesel. Vanatühi sometimes wears a hat of nails (Küüntest kübar) that makes him invisible. Once, Vanatühi stole the magic whistle belonging to the god of lightning, Pikne.
