Each-Uisce (The Water Horse)

The most dangerous of the water spirits, the Each-Uisce is a predatory horse demon. This sculpture captures its terrifying elegance, using real bone to mimic the sleek, muscular frame of a
creature that lures travelers to the water’s edge.

The Each-Uisce, as the water horse or horse-eel was known in the old language, is thought to have short and stumpy legs, a head like a horse, and a long sinuous body and tail. It hides in the deep lakes and generally comes out at night, where its black hide glistens in the starlight. The water horse is said to eat the crops of farmers, and sometimes even their animals!

Older tales tell how the water horse would wait in the shallows and someone would come along thinking it was a real horse, learning only too late their mistake, for upon finding the water far deeper than they thought, they would be thrown on the Each-Uisce’s back and carried away into the murky crushing depths, leaving nothing but strange tracks behind them.
