>No tales describe what form the nuckelavee takes when in the sea,[5] but its appearance on land has been recounted in graphic detail.[15] An islander, Tammas, survived a confrontation with the beast and, after much cajoling from Dennison, reluctantly gave his description of the monster, the only known first-hand account.[c] According to Tammas, the nuckelavee has a man's torso attached to a horse's back as if it were a rider.[5] The male torso has no legs, but its arms can reach the ground from its position on top of the equine body, the legs of which have fin like appendages.[13] The torso has a large head – possibly as much as 3 feet (0.91 m) in diameter – that rolls back and forth.[14] The monster described by Tammas has two heads;[17] the equine head has an enormous gaping mouth that exudes a smelly toxic vapour, and a single giant eye like a burning red flame. A particularly gruesome detail is that the nuckelavee has no skin;[18] black blood courses through yellow veins, and the pale sinews and powerful muscles are visible as a pulsating mass.[13] Other reports state that the creature resembles a centaur;[19] narratives are inconsistent in the finer details of the demon's description however.[2] Traill Dennison only describes a man's head with a "mouth projected like that of a pig".[13] Marwick also only mentions one head with a single red eye, and he borrows some of Tammas's characterisation by recording the creature's mouth as "like a whale's".[14]

>The nuckelavee is a mythical sea creature that appears as a horse-like demon when it ventures onto land.[12] Writer and folklorist Ernest Marwick considered it very similar to the Norwegian nokk, the nuggle of the Shetlands and the kelpie. A unique and solitary creature possessing extensive evil powers, its malevolent behaviour can influence events throughout the islands.[3] Islanders were terrified of the creature and would not speak its name without immediately saying a prayer.[13] It was often found in the vicinity of a beach, but would never come ashore if it was raining.[14]
>The nuckelavee's breath can wilt crops and sicken livestock, and it was considered responsible for epidemics and drought.[13] Seaweed burning to create what was known at the time as kelp began on Stronsay in 1722. The product – soda ash – was an alkali mainly used to treat acidic soil,[3][13] although as time went on its commercial importance in soap and glass manufacture increased. The pungent smoke emitted during the process can enrage the nuckelavee,[3] resulting in a wild rampage of plague, the deaths of cattle and the destruction of crops.[20][21] The nuckelavee infected horses on Stronsay with the deadly disease known as mortasheen,[d] to demonstrate its fury and exact its revenge against the islanders for burning seaweed; the infection subsequently spread to all the other islands involved in the industry.[3][23] The creature can impose prolonged periods of abnormally low rainfall, leading to water shortages and poor harvests.[3]

Generally if you haven't played the game, I really do recommend the Bard's Tale. It's a bit old but fun.

I came here to post that but was too late.
Bard's Tale had the best songs

The Nuckelavee is just a silly spookaboo monster with no subtlety.
Similar to modern "horror" games.
Nokken is far more interesting.
