Look at Greece over there in their special square.

Finland is wrong. While we share some folklore with other nordic countries, finnish mythology has its own creatures as well.

-Sleipnir and Valkyrie have nothing to do with Finland

-Goat that produces mead instead of milk sounds more like a Scandinavian thing rather than Finnish

Then we have stuff that this map leaves out and should at least be included (not in any way exhaustive):

-Maahinen - small humanoid creatures that live underground in another world, sometimes mischievous

-Trolls - both normal and mountain trolls appear in Finnish folklore

-Vesihiisi/Vetehinen/Näkki - malicious water spirits

-Giant fish - like Suomuhauki from Kalevala.

-Hiiden Hirvi - fast, strong and hard to catch elk that appears in Kalevala

-Pohjolan käärme - multi-headed snake that guards the passage to Pohjola

-Kokko - a giant eagle that's sometimes described as being made from iron and sometimes from fire
