The Nuckelavee is a horse-like creature found in Scotland. The Nuckelavee is described as a human torso attached to the back of a horse and the Nuckelavee is skinless revealing its muscle and some bones and it has sharp claws for attacking people. The word Nuckelavee means “Devil of the sea” and it is said that when the natives said the Nuckelavee’s name they said a prayer in order to protect themselves from it. It is said that the Nuckelavee is said to have yellow veins that have black blood flowing through them and in some accounts Nuckelavee has one eye. The breath of the Nuckelavee is said to wilt crops and make livestock very sick and people blamed it for famine and illness.
