  • Ireland is a nation filled with fairy tales and mythology, much of which has since spread across the world in some form or other - yet there are still many lesser known legends that haunt the land which are worthy of note for those with an interest in the macabre, one of the more disturbing is the legend of the Far Darrig. The "Red Man" was no exception to this rule and he was believed to be an especially evil-minded spirit that busied himself with playing gruesome practical jokes on those around him.
  • The Red Man is an Urb from The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld. He is a mysterious figure, feared by Bayou Boo and Crawdad Clem. He has a minor role in the story. After the Bayou twins tell the player's Urb to meet with the Red Man, they must go to the Hickory Stump at Midnight or later. Once they do, the Red Man challenges them to a fiddle contest. After the contest, he gives the player's Urb the second half of the Bayou twins' mother's locket. After this, the player's Urb is able to come back to the stump at midnight everyday and challenge the Red Man again. Each time he appears, he is unable to be socialized with.

  • Ireland is a nation filled with fairy tales and mythology, much of which has since spread across the world in some form or other - yet there are still many lesser known legends that haunt the land which are worthy of note for those with an interest in the macabre, one of the more disturbing is the legend of the Far Darrig. The Far Darrig translates roughly into "Red Man" and is believed to be a type of fairy not unlike the more famous leprechaun - unlike the innocent beings modern fantasy has come to see them as in the original folklore of Ireland (and many other cultures) the word "fairy" was used to describe any supernatural entity or spirit of the dead and often they were quite dangerous to ordinary humanity. The "Red Man" was no exception to this rule and he was believed to be an especially evil-minded spirit that busied himself with playing gruesome practical jokes on those around him. Due to the spirit's malicious nature and his tendency to dress in a red coat and cap some believe he is related to Redcaps, a type of murderous fairy from Scottish folklore - however he does not seem to share the Redcap's supposed need to kill in order to continue his existence. He is also believed to be related to the Clurichaun, another "cousin" of the leprechaun who was believed to be perpetually drunk and a guardian of cellars - who would haunt dishonest servants and drunkards.

The dialogue both before and after the fiddle contest are both references to the lyrics of the song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" by The Charlie Daniels Band.
