The redcap (or powrie) is a murderous goblin from Anglo-Scottish folklore. They inhabit ruined castles along the Anglo-Scottish border, especially ones infamous for wicked deeds, and dye their caps red with their victims' blood. While most fairies fear iron, redcaps often wear iron shoes.

In Welsh folklore, fairies wear white and gold, making them seem akin to beings of light. However, light doesn't always mean good. Hafgan ("Summer White") battles the hero Pwyll while Gwyn ap Nudd ("White, son of Fog") tempts saints and drives people insane.
