Calatin Clan
A poisonous multiform monster of Irish legend. This creature was composed of a father and his twenty-seven sons, any one of whose weapons could, by the merest touch, kill a man within nine days. This monstrosity was sent against Cuchulain, who succeeded in catching its eight-and-twenty spears on his shield. The Clan, however managed to throw him down and ground his face in the gravel. Cuchulain was assisted by the son of an Ulster exile, who cut off the creature's heads while Cuchulain hacked it to pieces.;
