Qué gustazo escuchar en "El libro rojo" a Mariano González, traductor de sagas nórdicas, hablando de las aventuras de Grettir. Hay pocos textos antiguos tan terroríficos como la lucha contra el no-muerto Glámr:

🧟 In ‘Grettir’s Saga’, an Icelandic work of literature, a shepherd named Glámr becomes a draugr after he was killed by a wight & buried improperly. Glámr would kill the living, perhaps out of jealousy that they still drew breath. He turned them into draugr so they would suffer alongside him.

🧟 Eventually Glámr was defeated by Grettir, but was cursed to die young. Some draugr would hurt anyone lucky enough to be alive but unlucky enough to encounter them. So you better hope you don’t run into one.

Eri contra el Draugr Glamr, una batalla de alto calibre. Glamr es antagonista de la novela medieval Saga de Grettir el Fuerte. Es uno de los más bravos y peligrosos de las sagas islandesas, habiendo matado toros y gente robusta. Es derrotado por Grettir pero lo maldice para que le tema a su sombra

El más peligroso de los zombis mitológicos, los Draugars del norte. Populares gracias a las sagas escandinavas, contando con miembros destacados como Grendel, Glamr, Thorolf, Karr, Thorgunna, etc. La mayoría matan por placer y arman quilombo a su paso. Solo un héroe herculeano puede matarlos.

I can’t believe this is something we would even need to discuss, because usually when you talk harm reduction in the AMR part of GLAMR it’s less “think of the CHILDREN” & more “think of the subjects of these records & how we can not re-traumatise them while also allowing access to the history”

As to the name, well, this machine refuses to properly die, refuses to bend to the whims of the living, and may in fact need to be bricked up beneath a stone cairn to prevent any violent incidents.
I wanted to declare it as a specific named draugr, like Glámr, but my label maker can't write that.
