Yule Lads

Stekkjarstaur (Sheep-cote clod) - Harasses sheep, but is impaired by his stiff peg-legs.
Giljagaur (Gully hawk) Hides in gullies, waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the cowshed and steal milk
Stúfur (Stubby) Abnormally short. Steals pans to eat the crust left on them
Þvörusleikir (Spoon-Licker) Steals Þvörur (a type of a wooden spoon with a long handle – I. þvara) to lick. Is extremely thin due to malnutrition
Pottaskefill (Pot-Scraper) Steals leftovers from pots
Askasleikir (Bowl-Licker) Hides under beds waiting for someone to put down their "askur" (a type of bowl with a lid used instead of dishes), which he then steals
Hurðaskellir (Door Slammer) Likes to slam doors, especially during the night
Skyrgámur (Skyr-Gobbler) A Yule Lad with an affinity for skyr
Bjúgnakrækir (Sausage-Swiper) Would hide in the rafters and snatch sausages that were being smoked
Gluggagægir (Window-Peeper) A snoop who would look through windows in search of things to steal
Gáttaþefur (Doorway-Sniffer) Has an abnormally large nose and an acute sense of smell which he uses to locate laufabrauð
Ketkrókur (Meat-Hook) Uses a hook to steal meat
Kertasníkir (Candle-Stealer) Follows children in order to steal their candles (which in those days were made of tallow and thus edible)

Stekkjarstaur sounds like a larf but Bjúgnakrækir is clearly a lad after my own heart

this just made my day

Kertasníkir because stealing candles from children and eating them is a good idea.

Hard to beat the frst one. I think I live with Hurðaskellir.
