Description
The essence of the folklore of the Frisians, Saxons and Scandinavians is the forest spirit (similar to the ancient Panu), scaring people or making them wander around more often.
He is also considered an analogue of a brownie, since, according to legend, if he leaves food, he can help with the housework.
It has many names: Pak or Puck, or Puck (English Puck, the Danes have Pokker), and in England it is also called Hob and and Robin's A Nice Guy.
