So, Gruagach. In the film Hellboy, he is a minor villain whose task is to find the body parts of the immortal witch Vivienne Nimue, who was chopped up into sausages in 517 AD. This creature is an impressively sized fairy resembling a mutated boar. However, in the comics, as well as in folklore, the Gruagach has a different backstory, character, and goals.
