Inktober day 10: #gigantic

Rübezahl is a folklore mountain spirit of the Riesengebirge or in English the *Giant Mountains*. However if ever you should be near the Giant Mountains you'd better use the name "Lord of the mountains" instead of Rübezahl.
Rübezahl is a mountain spirit and can take on any form he likes. Sometimes he appears as a giant but at other occasions he may appear as a dwarf.
As someone remarked one cannot see in the drawing if he is big or small. Although his cane and pipe appear to be extraordinarily long, they could very well be of normal size and Rübezahl be a dwarf. In fact I did not think so much of him as a giant but of the lord of the giant mountains.
You can find some tales about Rübezahl in English in The Legend of Rubezahl, or Number-Nip.
