The nightman is a black shaggy creature with fiery eyes who gathered and cut down meadow grass before a storm.
In Bride, he borrowed a sickle and cut two fields of corn in a single night. Another tale tells of his rounding up sheep three times around the mountain Snaefell, implying the circularity also found in a saying associated with him, 'are you turning the wheel?' (or 'reel') as well as 'Round Meadow' placenames.
