As a 5th-century saint, St. Patrick was roughly contemporary with King Arthur. Some say Patrick left Britain for Ireland in the reign of Ambrosius Aurelianus, Arthur's alleged uncle. Though there are legends of Arthur meeting numerous saints, none survive of him meeting Patrick.

Far darrigs are nasty, solitary Irish goblins famous for their red coats and rat-like features, including a snout and long tail. They love to play cruel tricks on humans, such as replacing babies with changelings or filling their sleep with nightmares

The werewolves of Ossory (a medieval Irish kingdom) are referenced in many Irish, English, and Norse texts. Their sins caused God to transform them into wolves. However, they were still Christian; a priest was once brought to perform last rites for a dying female werewolf.

"They stole little Bridget
For seven years long;
When she came down again,
Her friends were all gone.
They took her lightly back,
Between the night and morrow,
They thought that she was fast asleep,
But she was dead with sorrow.
They have kept her ever since
Deep within the lake,
On a bed of flag-leaves,
Watching till she wake."
- William Allingham, "The Fairies"
