Þvörusleikir aka Spoon Licker appears on the 15th and stays around until the 28th.

Spoon Licker comes down from the mountains on 15 December. In the past he would sneak into the houses and lick the wooden spoon used to scrape the pots.

The fourth was Spoon Licker;
like spindle he was thin.
He felt himself in clover
when the cook wasn’t in.

Then stepping up, he grappled
the stirring spoon with glee,
holding it with both hands
for it was slippery.

As pathetic as Stubby is, you’d think Spoon-Licker would fall in the same category. He stalks your kitchen and waits for a chance to steal the spoons and assorted stirring tools when the cook looks away and just… licks them. However, that’s where the devil in the details rears its ugly head, because that’s all he ever eats. Not the food. He ignores the food. All he steals is the spoon to lick, and that’s his only source of sustenance.

Defense against Spoon-Licker

• Keep close watch on the pots, and one eye on the chimney
• Never relax
• Develop eyes in the back of your head
• Oh god what if he’s already here
