Disney
has
a
history
of
making
memorable
enchanted
creatures,
endowing
them
with
human
qualities
and
making
unforgettable
characters
of
them.
One
such
magical
creature
that
greets
us
in
the
Frozen
sequel
is
Nokk,
the
Ocean
spirit
who
takes
the
form
of
a
stallion
and
fiercely
protects
the
secrets
of
the
Enchanted
Forest.
Elsa
first
encounters
Nokk
when
she
is
trying
to
overcome
the
crashing
waves
of
the
sea;
to
tame
it
and
to
be
able
to
run
on
it
and
perhaps
cross
it.
She
is
knocked
back
again
and
again,
and
suddenly
sees
the
vision
of
a
water
horse
that
is
blocking
her
progress.
In
order
to
get
past
Nokk,
a
person
must
prove
they
are
worthy
and
earn
its
respect
-
an
almost
impossible
task.
The
Nokk
also
appears
when
Elsa
is
trying
to
resist
a
call
that
urges
her
to
seek
answers,
but
she
says
she
does
not
want
a
new
adventure.
We
see
Elsa's
powers
growing
and
taking
icy
shapes
that
she
inadvertently
creates;
among
them
is
an
ice
horse,
whose
lines
quickly
dissolve
to
take
the
shape
of
giant
earth
monsters.
The
Nokk,
therefore,
plays
a
crucial
role
in
Elsa's
journey
of
self-discovery
and
is
also
a
key
test
to
her
abilities
and
qualities.
Nokk,
the
water
spirit,
appears
in
several
European
legends
and
Disney
seems
to
have
adapted
this
creature,
giving
it
finer
qualities
than
what
it
was
originally
-
a
siren,
luring
men
to
their
deaths.
Apart
from
the
water
stallion,
and
offsetting
its
sternness,
is
a
cute
little
salamander
named
Bruni,
who
is
winning
hearts
ever
since
he
was
introduced
in
the
trailer.
A
Disney
press
release
says
of
the
critter:
"Curious
and
cute,
this
salamander
inhabits
the
Enchanted
Forest.
Though
shy
at
first,
Bruni
can't
help
but
be
drawn
by
Elsa's
icy
magic
and
the
cool
snowflake
treats
she
creates."
Disney
has
really
upped
its
game
once
again
in
the
cute
reptile
department.
Remember
Pascal
of
'Tangled'?
