Description

In German folklore, house spirits, close relatives of the Heinzels.

They are similar to each other in appearance and habits, but hyutchen is distinguished by red caps, from which they got their nickname - in translation, this word means approximately "people in hats".

They are also house spirits who, like brownies, do housework for a modest fee. They are from one to three feet tall (0.3-0.9 m), capable of turning into children and small animals.
