Infernal Cleasai

Mischief spirits who use infernal powers.

Alp: a 3' tall spirit wearing a tarnakappe, a magical hat that gives them their powers. They are very powerful and dangerous spirits who have many powers, including but not limited to sleep paralysis, souring milk, tangling horse's manes, crushing small animals, causing minor illnesses, mimicking dead relatives, swapping out newborns, causing stillbirths, and turning invisible. They are shapeshifters who usually appear to be small figures with their caps, but will sometimes become a cat, pig, dog, snake, or small white butterfly - always wearing the cap. Some of them can fly in any form. One of their eyes can cause illness or misfortune with their gaze - if this eye is removed, they become nice and kind. They feed on blood or breast milk. They can enter a house via a keyhole. They can be repelled by many charms, including special poems, broomsticks under the pillow, iron horseshoes on the bedpost, shoes against the bed with the toes toward the door, some kinds of light, special sentries, mirrors on the chest while you sleep, or steel charms. If one wakes with an alp on them, they may ask them to return for coffee in the morning, and when they return, they can be driven away politely. Putting a lemon in their mouths immobilizes them. They are extremely difficult to kill.

Alp-luachra: small fairies who take different forms, usually either that of a newt or being invisible, who steal the food off people's plates. They are cruel fairies who like cruel tricks. They are called joint-eaters, and they have charms and spells that are unjust.

Krasnoludek: a 3' tall spirit with a pointy red hat. This spirit is often confused with gnomes or dvergar, but they are rarer and unique. They have imperial magic that allows them to harm workers, disrupt their meetings, and divide them against each other, making their malicious mischief a tool of the powerful.

Sheka: a 3' tall spirit who dwell in forests or rundown houses. They have different colored eyes and greass instead of hair. They wear all black or all white and can magically appear elsewhere at noon or sunset. They lure people into fields, causes diseases, and cause horses to trample people. When feeling mild, they will pull hair and taunt people, but when malicious, they are dangerous. If they catch someone alone, they force them to sing for hours. Their mischief is cruelty, and they are feared by those they dwell near.

Redcap: 3' tall fairies with red caps, long teeth that stick out, talon-like fingers, and huge eyes the color of bright red flame. They are the most chaotic fairies and their charms reflect this. They are extremely powerful and dangerous.
