Cuhullin is an Irish mythological hero who appears in many stories, and is seen in Scottish and Manx folklore. His childhood name was Setanta, and got his better-known name later on. Legend says, as a child, he killed Culann's vicious guard dog in self-defense and offered to take the dog's place until a replacement could be found. At seventeen, he defended his region without help and got fame. He also became known for his terrifying battle frenzy in which he becomes into an unrecognizable monster.
