Hobgoblin (hobgoblin) is a type of brownie (larger) from English folklore. The creature is a big fan of jokes, which are not always harmless.

Good-natured house fairies, similar in their habits to brownies. They rarely leave the house, preferring to bask by the fire.

True, they are very touchy, and if they are offended, then the owners get the first number - the milk turns sour, the clothes tear as if by themselves, the cleanly swept floor immediately turns dirty again.

They are about two feet tall (0.6 m), they have dark skin, they walk either naked or in dark clothes

A variant of the hobgoblin, living only on the Isle of Man, is called finoderi.

The Scottish version of hobgoblins, sometimes mischievous, sometimes ready to help, and sometimes dangerous, is calledBoggan.
