In the folklore of the inhabitants of the Highlands of Scotland, a fairy, permanently devoid of appearance. 

The very Gaelic word "brollahan" means something formless. The masculine noun "brollachan" can mean "to entwine, entangle, entangle". The lexeme "brollach" can be translated as "disorder" and "breast".

Only the hooves can be seen from it. When he gets scared, he bleats like a goat. According to some sources, this is a Scottish brownie, with dark hair, long arms to the knees and a shapeless hairy body. Sometimes it is believed that the brollahan takes on the appearance of what it touches or sits on.

These creatures are vicious and cruel. They are able to inhabit various living beings, including humans, causing a lot of harm, and in the end a person or animal dies.

To expel him from the body, special herbs are needed, which are given to the possessed, while accompanying it with a chant. Brollahan is also afraid of bright light and especially fire, which can kill him.
