Nuckelavee was one of the most terrible and feared creatures of Scottish folklore. It is sometimes mentioned as an Unseelie, a malignant fairy, and, unlike many other members of that type, is completely evil and monstrous rather than simply mischievous. The creature's home was in the sea but it ventured on land often to feast upon humans or drag them into the water, or to poison crops and livestock with its diseased breath. The Nuckelavee rode a horse, as skinless as its rider, on land, and its horse was sometimes indistinguishable with its own body. Some storytellers merged the two monsters so that rider and horse become one - a vile hybrid of man and beast.

From the few recorded descriptions of the Nuckelavee, we learn that its head was "ten times larger" than a man's with an incredibly wide mouth that jutted out like a pig's snout and a single fiery eye that burned with a red flame. Its arms reached to the ground, its body was distorted and its huge head swayed on a small neck, as if it was to weak to hold the swollen head.

Hairless, its body was also skinless, its entire surface appearing like raw and living flesh. It was said that its thick, black blood could be seen coursing through its yellow veins, as its sinewy muscles writhed with every movement it made.
