Cromm-Cruach

Cromm-Cruach is the animal form of the Banshee, also known as the "Death-Worm".

Characteristics

The Cromm-Cruach looks something like a gigantic insect larva with fearsome mandibles. The Banshee assumes this form in battle.

Real World History

In Irish legend, Cromm-Cruach was a particularly powerful and fearsome Irish god whom it was extremely dangerous to worship. An idol of his, accompanied by the idols of twelve minor gods under his leadership, stood on the plain of Magh Sleacht, until St. Patrick, during his missionary work in Ireland, caused these idols to sink into the ground, banishing them forever.
