Buggane

Buggane, a huge ogre-like creature of Manx myth, said to be native to the Isle of Man. Some say the creature is akin to the Scandinavian Troll. The buggane is a shape-shifter, though its natural form depict it as 'covered with a coarse black mane; has eyes like torches and it bears sharp glittering tusks'.

A story was told about a Buggane who was taken onto a ship against its will, it then used magic to make a storm to send him back to the Isle of Man. Buggane's can also not step into water or sacred places.

In another story the Irish warrior Finn MacCool travelled to the Isle of Man, there he met a Buggane who wanted to fight him but Finn did notwant a fight ,so he told his wife to turn him into a baby and when the Buggane saw how big the baby was he feared the size of the father and left.
