ATHACH

A monster from the folklore of the Scottish Highlands. The Athach may in fact be more than one creature, since the word athach simply means a monster or giant and was applied to several such beings as the Ludeag, a female demon who haunted Loch Nan Dubh, or the Bochan, which can assume a variety of monstrous shapes. Perhaps for this reason, descriptions of it are unclear, though it is said to haunt high places such as cliff sides or steep ravines.
