Also known as Peg Leg Jack, Fachin and Direach Ghlinn Eitidh, the Dwarf of Glen Etive, the Fachan (Fah-kahn) is an Irish-Scottish air element faery born of the Highlands, with an extremely volitile temperament. Unlike the figure he has human attributes though he is not typically human in appearance. He possess half a body, just one eye, one arm, one leg, and so on, all centered down the middle of his hairy and feathered body. The Fachan's feathers form a wild mane of black tufted at the top of his head and his mouth is obscenely wide and gaping when it opens. He has such a frightful visage that the very sight of him can induce heart attacks!

  • Also known as Peg Leg Jack, Fachin and Direach Ghlinn Eitidh, the Dwarf of Glen Etive, the Fachan (Fah-kahn) is an Irish-Scottish air element faery born of the Highlands, with an extremely volitile temperament. Unlike the figure he has human attributes though he is not typically human in appearance. He possess half a body, just one eye, one arm, one leg, and so on, all centered down the middle of his hairy and feathered body. The Fachan's feathers form a wild mane of black tufted at the top of his head and his mouth is obscenely wide and gaping when it opens. He has such a frightful visage that the very sight of him can induce heart attacks! The Fachan is said to hold within his single, withered arm, a weapon. Either a spiked club or a chain, he can clear a whole orchard in a single night and will readily swing it about him as he chases people down from his Highland mountains. In a story written by John Francis Campbell the Fachan is described.... "Ugly was the make of the Fachin; there was one hand out of the ridge of his chest, and one tuft out of the top of his head, it were easier to take a mountain from the root than to bend that tuft."
