Norggens (Norgg, Norgge, Nörggele, Nörggelen) are hot—tempered helper spirits in Tyrolean folklore.

In a bad mood, they become hot-tempered and harm people. They are two to three feet tall (0.6-0.9 m), they have bloodshot eyes, long beards and strong muscles. They dress like peasants, decorate their clothes with threads of moss, and put cocked hats on their heads.

Most often, norggens appear at night between the first quarter of the moon and the full moon. They settle, as a rule, in forest and mountain caves, sometimes they climb into people's houses.
