In the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, the Cabyll-Uisge is the water horse that lurks in pools, lakes and rivers. It takes livestock, dragging cattle and sheep down into the depths of the water where they are devoured. Sometimes, it can take the shape of a young man who then lures unwary maidens away from the path onto uncertain ground where it then turns back into its animal form and tears them in pieces. (See Each Uisge.)
