Nadcranntail, Natchrantel. Connacht champion in
Medb's service in
Táin Bó Cuailnge [Cattle Raid of Cooley]. He takes a third of his army on a daring raid into
Ulster and finds the Brown
Bull in Antrim, driving it and its herd back home. He refuses to fight
Cúchulainn because the latter is a beardless boy, so Cúchulainn dons a false beard and quickly dispatches him.
