Ahti or Ahto is also the Finnish sea king. The spirit of the depths, giving fish. He lives at the bottom of the sea in the Akhtola palace with his wife Vellamo (the goddess of the sea, lakes and storm, who is sometimes depicted as a mermaid).

The god and patron saint of reservoirs, the sea and fishing, he was depicted as a man with a mustache and beard made of moss. He probably possesses some fragments of the Sampo mill, and Vetekhinen and Iku-Turso live with him underwater.

Ahti causes whirlpools and envies the heavenly gods, who receive more attention and worship of people.

In Kalevala, Ahti is called Lemminkainen.
