	KING LINDORM from Andrew Lang's Fairy Books
		The lindorm came to the palace and received a bride of this kind, but in the morning she lay torn in pieces.
		The lindorm now lay before her as a formless, slimy mass, which she with all her might began to scrub with the lye and new scrubbing brushes.
		While King Lindorm was away at the war the wicked woman came to the queen, and spoke fair to her, saying that she had always foreseen that her stepdaughter was destined to be something great in the world, and that she had on this account secured that she should be the enchanted prince's bride.

	The Lindorm
		In summer, when the snow is faint in Cyhalloi, the lindorm takes the shade of dark, mossy green and brown, and in winter, it becomes a deadly white monstrosity almost invisible to the common eye, and when in barren lands of rock and stone it takes a shade of grainy, spreckled grey.
		The Lindorm also uses this powerful hypnotism for other wicked purposes, such as making the hypnotized foe influence other of its kind to come to the beast's lair and be hypnotized in turn, and all of the victims are thus forced to follow the Lindorm's bidding.
		Still, it seems highly unlikely that the Lindorms once, as told in the legends, in the past enslaved entire villages of settlers in Cyhalloi's east island, and by the help of powers unknown and darker still built an empire to challenge the mythical ulvur shapeshifters' legacy, which in turn also is known as legend alone.

	Cultural Analysis, Volume 1, 2000: Bengt Holbek and the Study of Meanings in Fairy Tales/Francisco Vaz da Silva
		She disobeys and gives birth to a subterranean serpent called lindorm (or a princess and a snake; or two princes, one of which is a snake).
		Thus, while I am in agreement with Michèle Simonsen in that Holbek's analysis of King Lindorm "can only skim the detailed richness of the concrete messages," I disagree when she ascribes this to the supposed fact that Holbek emphasizes "the symbolic equivalence of allomotifs to the expense of their (different) secondary connotations" (1998:213).
		This is of course to be understood in the context of the author's improbable effort to unlink the symbolism in fairy tales from its wider folkloristic context.
