Which British mythological character do you like the best?

The Royal mail has issued it's new stamps showing characters from British mythology. Stamps are things you put on letters, perhaps you remember them from your youth. Just for fun here's five famous characters from each country in the UK. Which one do you like the best?

Beowulf and Grendel (England). Danish monster gets killed by Beowulf who then slaughters it's grief-stricken mother. Beowolf gets killed by a dragon.

Blodeuwedd (Wales) Man cursed by mother to have no wife. Nice wizards make a woman out of flowers for him. She betrays him and is punished by being turned into an owl each night.

Selkie (Scotland) kinda like a bad mermaid but they transform from human into seals by slipping in and out of seal skin. Like to eat people but easily recognised because they look exactly like seals.

Piskies (Cornwall, we'll class it as a country out of politeness). Little mischievous people who play pranks on travellers but occasionally help out.

Fionn mac Cumhaill (Ireland). Warrior Giant with a magical thumb of knowledge. Builds a causeway to Scotland so he can have fisticuffs with another giant.

Yes I know better ones exist but I'm basing these off stamps. Beowolf is actually English although the English were saxons at the time
