Hundred-Legged Banshee of Donegal

Connections

  • Nix dragged the Hundred-Legged Banshee of Donegal kicking and screaming to the Realm of Arawn

Context

Donegal is a town in the far northern part of the country of Ireland. Although tales of a wailing banshee (a word meaning "faerie woman") are common and varied in Irish folklore, I couldn't find any tales of a 100-legged banshee (probably because BMG likes to add a fair amount of ridiculousness in these lore pages). But, I did find a couple of banshee references specific to Donegal: a green-robed banshee, and "a ghostly tale."
