Iku-Turso is a famous and fearsome creature in Finnish mythology, appearing in the Kalevala. He and his brethren, the Tursa, are somewhat similar to the Kraken or the Loch Ness monster, resembling a giant octopus and sometimes with dragon-like wings. Iku-Turso is such integral figure in Finnish mythology that he has had a submarine, video game characters, an asteroid, heavy metal bands, and a brand of ale named after him.
