[shame]. One-eyed swineherd of Bodb Derg, known for his aggressive disposition; it was said that he never attended a feast where he did not shed blood. His sometime epithet Tuathcháech was thought to mean ‘having but one eye, and that an evil one’. Often confused with Bodb's other swineherd, Friuch.
