<br />
==Description==<br />
The Tarbh Uisge is described as a black animal, with a velvety, soft appearance, and no ears at all. Only coming out at night, it is said to make a sound which has been compared to the crowing of a rooster. When local farmers hear that sound they know that this means the Tarbh-Uisge has come to graze in the fields.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Place==<br />
The Tarbh Uisge is found only in tiny, isolated pools, which are wedged deep in the mountainous Highland regions of Scotland.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Behavior==<br />
*Unlike the [[Each uisge]] or even the notorious [[Kelpie]], the Tarbh uisge is not prone to assail those unlucky enough to encounter it. In fact, it generally refuses to interfere, even when trespassers come into its habitat.<br />
<br />
*In Scotland, a calf born with what the Gaelic referred to as "carechluasach," or knife-ears (which is to say "short" ears) is considered to be the offspring of a Tarbh-Uisge.<br />
