Nuggles are Fae Water Sprites that appear as horses with slick black fur. In the Louisiana area they are part of the Fae Folk. The largest and oldest herd of Nuggles associate with the Cour Des Marais. One a nuggle selects a rider, they are bound for life (a nuggle disappointed with its rider will murder them rather than abandon them.)

Note: A rider should have the nuggle mentioned by name as one of their aspects. They will appear when summoned (possibly at the cost of a Fate point) and serve for a scene, assuming that the nuggle is supportive of the goals of its rider.
