Kaairioc-cró, Pitiless Dainöch

Sea Devil they call it and Sea Devil it may be, but the Dainöch known as Kaairioc-cró is as much a devil on land as it is in the water. Turned by Conand himself upon the shores of Tír Chonaill, Kaairioc-cró has willingly provided the Fomor with the savagery and brutality they crave for hundreds - perhaps thousands - of years, with back-breaking teeth and armoured bulk, and its legend is so long that few dare brave the channels between the ice-lands beyond and about Toraigh. Even so, Baalor's reach grows further with each passing season, and now even the Norse and the Khthones have learned to fear the booming cough that heralds the Dainöch, for not land nor shield wall holds terrors for these devils of the sea; but no Dainöch is feared as much as Kaairioc-cró, for he is the eldest and the most ferocious, the most cunning and the most implacable, the beast of legend that rises from the shore to break the will of the enemy it is set against or brings their ships and their crews beneath the ice that Baalor alone commands.
