Stray sods are attributed to the influence of faeries in Celtic tradition. Their purpose is mischievous, causing humans to become disoriented and lost.
No physical description of stray sods is given in the source material; they appear as a clump of grass.
Stray sods can cause disorientation and loss of direction when stepped upon. This effect can be reversed by wearing an item of clothing inside-out. A person stepping on a stray sod will feel an inexplicable sense of disorientation, as if they've wandered into unfamiliar territory.

Albiorix

Alp-luachra
Alp-luachra is an Irish folkloric fairy described as an invisible being that consumes half of a person's nourishment by taking the unseen 'pith' or 'quintessence' of food; accounts say it appears in the form of a newt and crawls down a sleeping person's mouth at water margins.

Breton Mythology
A collection of explanatory and heroic tales forming part of the Celtic mythos, rooted in ancient Celtic tradition. (Note: 1.

A solitary Irish fairy-like household and cellar spirit associated with drinking places (breweries, pubs, wine cellars).

Daolghas
Member of the Fianna, a band of warriors in Irish mythology, with supernatural abilities. (Note: * Power tier: Inconsistent with abilities described; should be Primordial or Ancient due to its cosmic/deity-level powers. * Abilities: Not entirely accurate; it's specifically stated that Daolghas ca)
Echtra Cormaic
A tale in Irish mythology recounting the journey of high-king Cormac mac Airt to the Land of Promise, a realm associated with Manannán mac Lir. (Note: 1.
