Iku-Turso (Iku-Tursas, Meritursas, Tursas, Turisas) is a sea monster from Finnish mythology.

His appearance remains unclear, but he is described with several epithets:

partalainen (the one who lives on the edge, or alternatively, bearded)
Tuonen härkä (vol Tuoni, Death)
tuhatpää (thousand - headed )
tuhatsarvi (thousand-horned)

It was sometimes said that he lived in Pohjola, but this may be because Pohjola was often perceived as the home of all evil.
