279-Norse Sagas: Prince Ali

The story of Spotted Ali, from the Icelandic sagas, has werewolves, ogre battles, and witch curses. It also has parents doing the right thing (and then the wrong thing for way too much cash), enemies becoming friends if they can keep on doing enemy stuff, and why you should always be polite to people who help you out: you don't know which ones might be actual trolls.

The creature this week is the Kibaan, a chill hairy guy who will play music for you...providing you don't try to steal his child.
