I would make a small squeaky noise if I turned around at a larp and saw this fellow.

John Bauer, Agneta and The Sea King, Swedish Folktales.
This has a beautiful story that goes with it, with the sea king trying to convince her to just take his hand and she’ll become the water queen and have mermaids in waiting and pearls in her hair
and she does not reach out
because she knows that he is the king of an underworld and he’ll take her down into the cold dark depths
and she won’t return
He has washed up from the water — all his nakedness like heaven With his hair so lank and heavy, green and black as Sodden seaweed, with his harp of kelp and pearlScandinavian countries have a lot of sexy male water nymphs in their legends, and for this, I am thankful.
Mmmm nymph

“The Animal Bride or Bridegroom in folk tales represent the wild within each one of us. They represent the wild within our lovers and spouses, the part of them that we can never fully know. They represent the Others who live unfathomable lives right beside us — cat and mouse and coyote and owl; and the Others that live only in the dreams and nightmares of our imaginations. For thousands of years, their tales have emerged from the place where we draw the boundary lines between animals and human beings, the natural world and civilization, women and men, magic and illusion, fiction and the lives we live. Those lines are drawn in sand; they shift over time; and the stories are always changing…..”— from Married to Magic: Animal Brides and Bridegrooms in Folklore and Fantasy
A pretty good introduction to stories of this type, with a good gender balance.
