Hobgoblins

Hobgoblin is a broad term encompassing several small fairies of both the Seelie and Unseelie court. This is due to the sheer size of the fairy family and the confusion and generalization that often occurs with layman's terms. For example: both brownies and bogles are considered hobgoblins but belong to different courts.

The fairies in this category are generally smaller than dwarves, which are roughly the height of shorter human adults and tall children, but are larger than sprites and insect-winged pixies. Gnomes and brownies average about toddler height, while some larger pixies, such a urchins, stand no taller than a hare.

While hobgoblin is not an official term recognized by LEAFF and can be considered offensive, most humans use it to describe small child-sized fairy.

Fairy listed in this category include: Gnomes, brownies, bogles, trows (small relative of the troll), kobolds, urchins etc.
