Yeah, sometimes "adaptations" only use the name, but change the design of the monster completely. So not really an adaptation, more of a reference. (A Basilisk is a chicken lizard with legs, Rowling, not a big snake. The Kraken is a giant squid from Norse myth, Clash of the Titans, not whatever the hell you made. Some shows like Grimm, Teen Wolf and Supernatural just use the name and keep the creature mostly humanoid, though thats definitely due to budget constraints. Castlevania has some really weird naming things and a few of them are beause of translation errors. Dungeons and Dragons also has some questionable naming choices)

Hey, I remembered another true adaptation of the Nuck. Scribblenauts!



Actually,... I think The Bard's Tale only references the Nuck through the song "The Tale of the Nuckelavee". And RWBY has to conform to the designs of the Grimm, so... Scribblenauts is actually the most accurate and only true adaptation of the Nuckelavee haha.
