【妖怪説明】
スコットランド民話やケルト神話に登場する水にまつわる精霊とされる。
馬のような体に人間のようなおおきな上半身、豚のような鼻、赤く燃えるような一つ目、前足の周りには肉厚のひれがあり、裂けた口からは蒸気がうねりだしている。黄色い血管の中は黒い血が流れており、頭は１mの幅がありロープが巻かれているようにみえ重そうで、むき出しの筋肉が脈を打っているという。

作物をしおれさせる毒の息をはく。皮膚がないので淡水をかけて追い払うことができる。海藻を焼いた煙の匂いを嫌い、かぐと激しく怒りモータシーンと呼ばれる馬の不治の病をばらまく。

【Nuckelavee】
The nuckelavee ( /nʌklɑːˈviː/) or nuckalavee is a horse-like demon from Orcadian mythology that combines equine and human elements. It has its origins in Norse mythology, and is the most horrible of all the demons of Scotland's Northern Isles. The nuck component of its name may be cognate with Nick in Old Nick, a name for the Christian Devil. The nuckelavee's breath was thought to wilt crops and sicken livestock, and the creature was held responsible for droughts and epidemics on land despite its being predominantly a sea-dweller.

A graphic description of the nuckelavee as it appears on land was given by an islander who claimed to have had a confrontation with it, but accounts describing the details of the creature's appearance are inconsistent. In common with many other sea monsters it is unable to tolerate fresh water, therefore those it is pursuing have only to cross a river or stream to be rid of it. The nuckelavee is kept in confinement during the summer months by the Mither o' the Sea, an ancient Orcadian spirit, and the only one able to control it.

Orcadian folklore had a strong Scandinavian influence, and it may be that the nuckelavee is a composite of a water horse from Celtic mythology and a creature imported by the Norsemen. As with similar malevolent entities such as the kelpie, it possibly offered an explanation for incidents that islanders in ancient times could not otherwise understand.
