A sinister water horse from the folklore of the Shetland Isles. Its name derives from the Danish word for seaweed, which covers it like long shaggy hair. Sometimes Tangies have been known to appear as old men, but they are most frequently seen as horses that invite unwary traveler to ride upon them, after which they gallop off into the nearest deep water. A ferocious robber named Black Eric was siad to ride a Tangie, giving him extraordinary powers and strength. Eventually he fell from the creature's back over a cliff known as Fitful Head, but the Tangie continued to terrorize the area.
Deadline for all Tangie action to be sent to magicalcreaturesproject@ gmail.com: Monday, June 18th.
