The Fomor

The Fomor (or Fomorians) are mythological beings from Irish legend, often depicted as supernatural, sometimes monstrous enemies of the ancient Irish gods called the Tuatha Dé Danann. They are typically portrayed as chaotic, destructive forces representing elements like storms and darkness, with some descriptions as oceanic or amphibious. The Fomor symbolize chaos and disorder, and in stories, they often challenge or threaten the order and prosperity of Ireland. Over time, they are also seen as symbolic representations of natural upheavals or foreign invaders in Irish history and myth.
