Aatx
Aatx is a spirit in Basque folk mythology. He is a cave spirit who takes the form of a young red bull, but as a werewolf, sometimes takes the form of a human. At night, especially in stormy weather, it emerges from the hollows that are its lair. It attacks criminals and other malicious people. It also protects people by forcing them to stay at home when danger is near.
Abat
