Pukwudgie

In Wampanog folklore, a Pukwudgie is a short, trollish like nature spirit, with large ears, nose, and hands, and smooth skin. They are said to have several different magic powers, such as the ability to disappear, transform into animals, or instantly create fire. If one crosses a Pukwudgie it's best to leave them alone, else they might follow you home and play cruel tricks.
