Kisah dan tradisi
Manusia Lembu Wicklow adalah makhluk setengah manusia setengah lembu yang menurut sejarawan Giraud de Barri hidup di Wicklow, Irlandia, pada akhir abad ke-12. Giraud menggambarkannya berkepala besar botak seperti lembu, berwajah datar dengan dua mata besar, tanpa hidung melainkan dua lubang yang mengeluarkan bunyi seperti lenguhan banteng, dan bertangan serta berkaki kuku belah. Makhluk ini sering datang ke istana baron Maurice FitzGerald di Black Castle, Wicklow, sampai akhirnya diculik dan dibunuh orang Irlandia. Dalam Topography of Ireland, Giraldus menyebut makhluk itu terlihat di Wicklow (Gwylvingelo) ketika Maurice Fitzgerald menguasai wilayah tersebut: tubuhnya manusia, tetapi ujung anggota badannya berupa kaki lembu. Ia tidak bisa berbicara dan hanya mengeluarkan suara seperti lenguhan lembu. Ia datang setiap hari ke istana Maurice untuk makan dan memegang makanan dengan celah kukunya, sampai akhirnya dibunuh diam-diam. Giraldus menyebutnya lagi secara singkat dalam The Conquest of Ireland.
The Ox Man of Wicklow is a half-man, half-ox creature that, according to the historian Giraud de Barri, lived in Wicklow, Ireland, in the late 12th century. Giraud described a big bald ox-like head, a flat face with two huge eyes, two holes instead of a nose that made bull-like bellows, and cloven hooves for hands and feet. It regularly visited the court of the baron Maurice FitzGerald at Black Castle, Wicklow, until it was seized and killed by the Irish. In the Topography of Ireland, Giraldus says the creature was seen in Wicklow (Gwylvingelo) while Maurice Fitzgerald held the territory: its body was human but its extremities were an ox's. It could not speak and only made sounds like lowing. It came daily to dine at Maurice's court, holding food between the clefts of its hoofs, until it was secretly put to death. Giraldus mentions it again briefly in The Conquest of Ireland.
