The Formorians are described as big, black, ugly and from 'under' the sea. I just figured they were black seafarerers. An bhfuil siad dubha...? Is Gael mé, agus níméamhruighim seo... I.e., where'd you hear that? :) That black part, I mean.

"An bhfuil siad dubha...? Is Gael mé, agus níméamhruighim seo... I.e., where'd you hear that? :) That black part, I mean. The Fomorians
"The Fomorians were an ancient sea-faring race it is thought that they originally came from Northern Africa or Asia as they are described as having dark hair and dark skin in the original accounts. The name 'Fomor' literally means 'beneath the sea' from the Gaelic faoi-mhuir. Today scholars believe that 'Mor' means 'phantom' or 'spirit' and therefore proves that the Fomorians were considered to be Gods with magical powers."
