The haugbúi is the stay-at-home variant of the Norse walking dead: a corpse that lives on inside its burial mound and guards what was buried with it. It is dangerous only to those who enter, which makes it the standard opponent of treasure-seeking saga heroes such as Grettir and Hrómundr. Scholars treat it as a sub-type of the draugr, and the two terms are often used loosely for the same beings. Its literary afterlife runs through Tolkien's barrow-wights into modern fantasy.12

The name joins Old Norse haugr ('mound') and búi ('dweller')12

It fights grave robbers hand to hand, and some are immune to ordinary weapons12

Saga mounds are described as reeking so badly that intruders can die of the stench12

4

The Orkney and Caithness 'hogboon' takes its name from the same word12

Tolkien's barrow-wights were modelled on it; 'barrow-wight' was first used for these dead in an 1869 translation of Grettis saga12
