Talk:Nuckelavee Grimm/@comment-26018514-20170123160915

I'm curious as to whether any Nuckelavee lore supports this hypothesis, but does anyone else think the "rider"(and perhaps even the horse head) could be lures designed to trick it's prey into thinking they are striking vital spots to no avail?

Because if you think about it the instinctual target should be the rider, which may just be a pincushion it goes back to its lair to remove objects from, not because they hurt it, but so that foes still target it.

That the real reason they needed a huntsman might have been less combat related and more Oobleck-style knowledge of the enemy?
