NINYA
These are men made of ice, with icicles for beards. They live in deep caverns beneath the desert. On winter evenings they emerge, and cause cold and frost to fall upon the land. As sunrise approaches they rush back to their caves before they can melt, and this rapid movement creates the icy winds of desert mornings. If ice is found out of season it means that the Ninya are angry. They can freeze lakes and rivers. The Ninya are the villains of Patricia Wrightson’s book The Ice is Coming.
