Each Uisge

The each uisge, pronounced ek-ooshkya is a Scottish water spirit, in Ireland called the Aughisky, and is similar to the kelpie, but far more dangerous.

After the each uisge carried the unsuspecting victim into the water, it would tear the victim apart and devour the entire body except for the liver. As long as the each uisge is ridden in the interior of land, he is rather harmless. But the merest glimpse or smell of water would mean the end of the rider.
