These supernatural sea creatures were said to live in underwater caves in the Minch, a straight between Lewis, Long Island, and the Shiant Islands near Scotland. The Blue Men looked like humans with blue skin. They were infamous for swimming alongside passing ships and attempting to wreck them by conjuring storms and luring sailors into the water. If a captain wanted to save his ship, he had to finish their rhymes and solve their riddles, and always make sure he got the last word. The Blue Men were actually hierarchical, as they were always ruled by a chieftain. This led to the assumption they are somehow related to mermen. Some may think the are fallen angels.
