Grýla and her spouse Leppalúði are still the wicked characters as depicted in the original folktales and thrive on the misbehavior of naughty children. Over the centuries the Icelanders have developed unique Yuletide traditions. This is reflected in the food they eat - smoked lamb, cured skate and leaf bread - as well as their colorful folklore featuring the giant trolls Grýla and Leppalúði, their thirteen rascally sons, and a huge, hungry feline that terrifies children and adults alike - the Yule Cat. Through time the thirteen lads have gradually learned to be a little better behaved, but Grýla and her spouse Leppalúði are still the wicked characters as depicted in the original folktales and thrive on the misbehavior of naughty children.
