Fomorians (or Fomhoire)...
Irish ‘underworld spirits’
In Irish legend, a race of demonic beings who lived in Ireland and fought off successive waves of settlers. They were finally expelled by the Tuatha Dé Danann (people of the goddess Danu) in the second Battle of Muighe Tuireadh (Moytirra). Their most prominent leader was Balar of the Evil Eye, killed by Lugh.
