The cuegle is a monster in Cantabrian folklore. Walking on two legs and roughly humanoid in shape, it has black skin, three tentacular arms, five rows of teeth, a single stubby horn and three eyes in its head: one green, one red, and one blue.[1] Despite its small size, it has great strength.[2] The cuegle attacks people and livestock, and is reputed to steal babies from the cradle. It may be protected against by placing oak or holly leaves, which it finds repulsive, in the cradle.[1]
