AFAIK Lancer in Fate/Stay Night is *not* Cu Chullain, but Arthur, however she indeed wields Gae Bolg.

Seen as the Megami Tensei series of games was mentioned for Cu Chulainn shouldn't it also be mentioned that there are also daemons called Fomor+Balor, Morrigan + Badb and Setanta, I also seem to recall more characters, like Pyro Jack (Jack-o-Lantern) and Cait Sith although I guess they are more folklore than mythology.

Doesn't Morrigan appear in a few of the Rigante novels by David Gemmell? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.34.183.17 (talk) 16:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Selkies do not belong on the list, they are Scottish of Orcadian origin. Ireland has the similar Roane, just as England as Merfolk, Grindylows. To claim that Selkies are Irish mythology is bad scholarship. I think that section should be moved to Scottish folklore in popular cultures as most of the pop culture adaptations specifically mention that they are Scottish too. 'The Story of Inish Roan' is one of the only Irish sources that made the connections with Selkies, but that is a film and not folklore and was only changed to Ireland for budgetary reasons. I'll move the section to the Scottish folklore article in a few days if people do not reply to reach a consensus. 86.131.251.54 (talk) 10:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree. The Selkie (or Selchie) is part of Celtic mythology, not solely Scottish, and there are stories of seal-folk from Ireland also (and Wales, and Cornwall). There's adequate sources for these claims - here's a couple:Seafaring Lore & Legend and The minor traditions of British mythology. --

Your source about the seal people in Ireland doesn't claim they are part of Celtic mythology, HighKing (or Ireland, per chance?) and implies that they are of Shetlandic origin. The Shetlandic people, the Orkney people, the Faroe people and the Icelandic people are not Celtic, so the claim is nonsense. - ExplorianCaptain — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.252.243 (talk) 17:31, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the two sources I've provided above - one states clearly that the Selkie is part of Celtic mythlogy, and the other provides specific examples relating to Ireland. And if you do some research it's very easy to come up with other references. --

As far as I'm aware headings should never be linked. All the headings in this article are linked. Shouldn't they be delinked and replaces by {{main}} templates? 194.78.30.172 (talk) 07:30, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The comic book series Supergod includes a character named Morrigan Lugus, comprising 3 individuals just like the 2 gods that make up its name. This seems like it should be included. ComicVine Reference — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.255.175.17 (talk) 19:13, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone add that they are using Scáthach in the current season of American Horror Story? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.199.212.7 (talk) 03:52, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously? No section on them? I can think of a few references to them just off the top of my head, and surely there must be plenty of others. dllu (talk) 12:08, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first time doing something like this but I thought I'd mention: In the Morrigan section of this article, her role as a character in Smite is mentioned twice, as the first point from the bottom and the tenth point from the bottom, the tenth from the bottom is more detailed so just delete the last point I suppose. 2A02:C7E:C35:E600:AA:BBB1:59D3:26B3 (talk) 06:05, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I missed this AfD. As NickNack and I mentioned after the AfD, this listicle, whatever it started as, was a circular file. It became a dumping ground for the constantly-added cruft that wasn't notable enough for the real mythology articles. However it got this way, we arrived at the compromise of telling people to take it here if it was at all notable in pop culture. We still have a number of articles that direct people here. I'm asking other editors to add the mythology articles to their watchlists to help us draw a firmer line on reverting IPC cruft. Best, -
