Gutgin

In Germano-Scandinavian mythology, a brownie who provides services to the owners of the house is most often small (to find a lost thing, fix broken dishes), but according to some sources he could appear in front of the owners and help with cleaning, washing, etc.

In the texts of the Elder Edda, Gutgin is described as a being similar to a man (an old man) small in stature with pointed ears and protruding canines of the lower jaw. He is usually dressed in pieces of cloth or wool.
