Aatxe means "calf" in Basque.
In Basque folklore, Aatxe is a demonic shapeshifting spirit that takes the form of a bull and occasionally a human. He is a master shape-shifter but favors the appearance of a red bull or a bull-shape of fire.
The latter emerges at night, especially in stormy weather, from his cave dwelling in the Basque mountains.

He also protects people by making them stay home when danger is near...
