The instigator of all this mayhem is the otherworldly, martial-artsy Prince Nuada (Luke Goss), who wants his people to [regain] their [rightful] place in the order of things; 



his twin sister, Princess Nuala (Anna Walton), knowing her bro is bonker[s], [sides] with the humans and hides the key part of the crown. The results include chases, battles and a lot of quick-cooking mythology. 



And, of course, creatures. Nuada is assisted by what seems to be a tusked gorilla with porcupine spindles on his back and an iron fist that turns into a [medieval] mace; 



the small, evil fairy-cockroaches that Nuada unleashes upon an unsuspecting crowd at an auction house (where the crown is [up] for bid) are efficiently carnivorous and natteringly unnerving.
