Beithir : ウィキペディア英語版
Beithir
The beithir is a large snake-like cryptid of Scottish folklore, possibly originating from sightings of large grass snakes (''Natrix natrix'') or European eels (''Anguilla anguilla'').
==Folklore==
The beithir was considered one of the Fuath. They were said to be sighted on summer nights when lightening strikes occurred. It was written by John Gregorson Campbell that if a snake is killed then its head must be removed and disposed away from the body. Otherwise, the two parts will come together and the snake will come back alive as a beithir.
According to Celtic mythology scholar James MacKillop the word ''beithir'' may be derived from the Norse for bear or possibly thunderbolt.〔
〕 Writing in the ''Celtic Review'' in 1908, folklorist E. C. Watson described the beithir as an inhabitant of mountainous caves and corries, adding that it was a "venomous and destructive creature". He considered the basis of the folktales were founded in the destructive forces of lightning and the characteristics of a serpent.〔
