In Karelian and Finnish mythology, Kytöläinen, according to information from Ganander, was the master of the forest, from whose tears trees grew:

"Kutelaini cried a lot, Viholaini roared. A tear ran from his eyes, dripped one after another, stuck it on the stumps of the willow...".

He is closely related to Kuyunyaini, if not the same owner.
