Each Uisge Haiku
Fit for any king,
yet I am not what I seem.
Ride to deadly depths.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This monster - specifically one individual beast rather than a type of beast - comes from Celtic folklore. Each Uisge was a water horse who could take the form of a magnificent steed. His speed could not be matched, nor could his strength. Warriors found this horse harder to resist that any weapon or woman they'd ever seen.
Once mounted, Each Uisge would race off at an insane rate to his home at the bottom of a lake. There, his rider would naturally drown hand he would devour them. Granted, he would begin to devour them whether or not they had finished drowning.
And you thought it was safe to go back in the water after "JAWS"...
