[briefbestiary]

Beings of Scottish legend, the fachan are powerful and surprisingly agile monsters. Legendarily grotesque, besides their single leg and eye, a fachan also has a singular hand sprouting centrally from its torso.

Faebruary Day 9~ Fachan

Fachan is a one eyed, one armed, and one legged goblin, that lives in isolated areas. It will harm anyone that traverses on his land, and he is dressed in a matted feathery cloak. He’s also described as gross, so I tried to depict him in that way.

Faebruary 17th - Fachan

In Scottish folklore the fachan is a monster or giant described by John Francis Campbell in Popular Tales of the West Highlands as having a single eye in the middle of its face, a single hand protruding from its chest instead of arms, and a single leg emerging from its central axis. It has a single tuft of hair on the top of its head, regarding which Campbell says "it were easier to take a mountain from the root than to bend that tuft." 

(A mantra was spoken when drawing this piece 'Sometimes your art will never look right because what you are drawing is the weirdest thing you have drawn to date')

Monstober Day 23 - Fachan

[lpbestiary]

The fachen is a monster from Scottish folklore. Sometimes said to be a giant and sometimes a dwarf, it is notable for having only one eye, one leg, and one arm protruding from the centre of its chest.

The fachen was written about by Gaelic scholars John Francis Campbell and Douglas Hyde. It possesses some magic ability, and is said to wield a bizarre weapon; a flail of fifty cursed apples.
