The Fachen (also spelled Fachan or Fachin) is a creature with only half a body in
Scottish and
Scots-Irish folklore. Supposedly its appearance, which includes a mane of black
feathers tufted at the top and a very wide mouth, is so frightening that it induces heart attacks. It can destroy an orchard with a chain in its strong, singular, withered arm, in a single night. A story in
John Francis Campbell's
Popular Tales of the West Highlands features a Fachen named Nesnas Mhiccallain being defeated in a race by the story's hero, Murachadh Mac Brian, who became king of
Ireland. It is also known as Direach Ghlinn Eitidh, or the
Dwarf of
Glen Etive.
