No, really, the love of your life might just be a deer...or, well, a human in the form of a deer. Just ask your two cousins who are also your best friends and your literal dogs. They'll lead you right to her. This is the story of Oisín in Tir na nÓg from Irish folklore.

😈 The Creature: Chaneque

A little shriveled man with the face of a baby who might eat your brain and/or soul

Note: The timeline, historically, doesn't add up, with some stories referencing Vikings (8th century and beyond), others referencing later portions being in the 3rd century, and still more stating that earlier portions are in the 3rd century. We just go with it.
