Brownies: the domestic charmers
Brownies are small creatures from Scottish and English folklore known for their benevolent antics. They live in houses and love to help with household chores when the residents are sleeping. However, if you try to reward them, they might get offended and disappear!
Brownies have a weakness for food, especially oatmeal and milk. Leaving some of these snacks for them can ensure their goodwill. If you are a kind host, these mischievous creatures will be your allies in the house.
Kobolds: masters of pranks
In the heart of Germany, Kobolds are up to their mischief. These Germanic goblins are known for their fondness for pranks, often playing pranks on miners working deep beneath the earth. They can also hide objects and cause chaos in their targets' homes.
Kobolds are said to have varied personalities, ranging from mischievous to malicious. However, by offering tobacco or food, it is possible to appease them and prevent their antics. Who knows, you might even win over a mischievous ally!
Leprechauns: the famous creatures of Celtic folklore
In Ireland, Scotland and elsewhere, leprechauns are legendary figures noted for their mischief.
They are known for hiding objects, scaring animals and even play pranks on unsuspecting humans. Furthermore, they love a good party, but they can also become vindictive if provoked.
However, goblins are complex beings and not all of them are malicious. Some can bring good luck, while others are masters of mischief. The key to getting along with them is to show respect for nature and Celtic culture.
Dokkaebis: Korean pranksters
In Korea, Dokkaebis are supernatural creatures that love to play pranks on people. They have a special penchant for pranks involving lost or hidden objects. If you've ever lost something inexplicably, a Dokkaebi could be to blame!
Despite their antics, Dokkaebis are considered spiritual beings and can be both beneficial and malicious.
They are said to possess magical powers and can grant wishes, but only if you gain their favor through acts of kindness or guessing games.
Leprechauns: the guardians of the Irish treasure
Leprechauns are, perhaps, the most famous creatures on this list. Originally from Ireland, these elves are known for their wealth of gold and their ability to hide it in secret places. Catching a Leprechaun is a challenge as they are quick and cunning.
If you manage to capture one of them, he may be forced to reveal the location of his treasure. However, be careful as they are masters at making deceptive promises and can slip away when you least expect it.
