Duende
a "duende" refers to a creature from Iberian, Latin American, and Filipino folklore that is comparable to goblins, gnomes, or leprechauns. While primarily a myth, these entities are treated as cryptids by believers who claim to have physically encountered them
They are notorious tricksters. Some are believed to help with household or farm chores and protect nature, while others are seen as malevolent spirits that steal items, braid horses' manes, or aggressively torment
