✏️Osmo is a pretty solid sketch artist✏️
He’s not drawing a criminal, though. He’s drawing his sister, whose only crime is stealing the prince’s heart. And also maybe trying to escape the prison of the sea king, but that comes later.
😈 The Creature: The Jurua
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, there’s the jurua who is taking their family out to a nice dinner…of your flesh. Hope you’re wearing the right creeper.

Brief disclaimer, there's a depiction of a character struggling with some things and being pushed to harm themselves. Please see the post on mythpodcast.com if this is of concern to you. This week on Myths and Legends, it's the story of Osmo, Ilona, and how if that hitchhiker is really laying that guilt trip on thick, you might wanna make sure that it isn't an actual demon. Also, why you should work on your drawing skills. You might get your sister a date with the prince. The creature this time wants to invite you down to their watery house for dinner. Unfortunately, they send their invitations via invisible spears, and you are the dinner. [upbeat music] This is Myths and Legends, episode 430, Worn Out. [upbeat music] This is a podcast where we tell stories from mythology and folklore. Some are incredibly popular tales you might think you know, but with surprising origins. Others are stories that might be new to you, but are definitely worth a listen. Today we're in Finnish folklore for something closer to a fairy tale, as it doesn't care about time, place, or history. We'll jump in as Osmo, the farmer's son turned shepherd, gets a visit from his lunchtime buddy.
