Merrows are the Scots-Irish equivalent of mermaids, and there's a lot of overlap between their mythology and that of run-of-the-mill mermaids. Yeats: "Sometimes they come out of the sea, and wander about the shore in the shape of little hornless cows. They have, when in their own shape, a red cap, called a cohullen druith, usually covered with feathers. If this is stolen, they cannot again go down under the waves."
