An alp is an evil succubus-like entity covered in tangled black fur that originates from Germanic and Swiss folklore. When Christianity came to Scandinavia, the alps were branded a race of demons and have remained so ever since. As a dream demon, they can transform into various animals and cause night terrors. They mainly feed on blood, but they will also drink milk from sleeping women.
They were known as beings which forged mystical crafts under the mountains, they later came to be seen as demons that prevented people from sleeping, causing illness.
Alps also appear in Norse mythology and come in two varieties: the light Ljósálfr and the dark dökkálfar. The word Alps normally refers to the former. In Alfheim, the paradise in which the elves of the sky live, they dance and bathe in the light of the moon.
