In Manx folklore, Jimmy Squarefoot is a legendary bipedal pig-headed creature.
Description
Jimmy Squarefoot is generally described as a phantom or ghost with a pig's head and two tusks like those of a wild boar. His large feet are swathed in calico bands and are squarish in appearance, hence the name.
Origin
According to lore, at one time it was a giant pig which carried around a stone-throwing giant, a Foawr. As a mortal, Jimmy, too, was a stone thrower; his favorite target being his wife. She ultimately left him, after which it seems he assumed his semi-human form and roamed the land.
Behavior
Despite his monstrous appearance, Jimmy Squarefoot is generally a peaceful wanderer.
Art/Fiction
