A creature from Spanish folklore (Asturian, Cantabrian and Galician mythology).

According to Asturian mythology, Nuberu is literally "Cloud Master" (English Nuberu, Nubeiro):

A long time ago, Nuberu arrived to the Asturians riding on a cloud, but he failed and fell from it to the ground[3]. After that, he asked for asylum, but no one wanted to help him, until one night a peasant took pity on him. In gratitude for the help, Nuber caused rain over his fields and gave him a good harvest.

He looks like an ugly little old man in clothes made of skins with a disproportionately large mouth and a thick beard, wearing goat skin and a big hat.

He flies astride clouds, controls the weather by willpower, and for fun they strike animals with lightning or destroy crops.

He can be terribly cruel to people, damaging fields and pastures, but he can also be very kind to those who helped him. The myth says that he lives in the city of Orito, in Egypt.

Folklorists believe that Nuberu is a trace of the god of the ancient god Taranis in Asturian mythology, who also ruled in the heavens and was the object of worship of the Asturians until the Middle Ages. Also compared to Odin and Zeus for similar reasons.
