House spirit in Spanish, Portuguese and Mexican folklore.

Etymologically, it is a derivative of "dueno", which means "master", or rather, "master of the house".

He has a short stature, a long goatee beard, unusually strong hands and an extremely low and deep voice. There is a mention that one of their hands is made of wool, and the other is made of metal.

The creature can point to the treasure, which then turned into ashes, ashes, leaves, etc.
