Spanish characters (Spanish Duende) and Portuguese (port. Duende) folklore.
Duende are supernatural beings who, according to legend, cannot be driven away either by prayers or holy water. The only way to get rid of them is to change your place of residence, taking only the necessary things with you.
Duende's height is "about two feet" (60 centimeters). They can become invisible, as well as change their appearance. Duende prefers green, red or gray outfits from clothes, and they always wear hats or caps.
Duende appear at night, scare people, not letting them fall asleep, and then disappear long before sunrise. They tend to move objects, saddle people and ride them around the rooms, sing.
However, for a cup of milk, a duende can also work for the benefit of a person: repair broken things, clean up the house.
