Spriggan

Spriggans are the “biggest” and “strongest” of all the Boggies. They are also known to be Fairy bodyguards and are the close relatives to Bauchans and Maugs. The biggest distinguishing quality the Spriggan has is that when they Spasm Burst they grow immense in size and strength. Normally 3 feet tall they look like Hob-Goblins, but when angered they can grow to 8 feet tall and look more like a Giant version of their former selves, retaining all the characteristics and qualities that identify that particular Spriggan, like facial hair, markings, general facial structure, etc…, it’s just that their proportions grow into Ogre-like proportions. 

Spiggans are relatively moody and aren’t deep thinkers, nor are they particularly social fey. They do tend to steal a lot, but more so because they think they are entitled to others things just because they can take it and usually no one can do anything about it. So “stealing” isn’t the right term if they take it in front of your face and then ignore you even being there. However despite this they aren’t overtly violent, that is, they don’t seek to cause suffering or pain to others. So this makes them Ideal for protecting the more gentler fairies against the vicious ones like Barguest, Redcaps, Hobyahs, Boggles and the like, which they have no problem squashing.
