The Red Cap is an evil goblin that lives in one or another of the ruined castles and whatchtowers along the border between Scotland and England. A wanderer along the lonely border tracks might be tempted to explore one of the brooding old piles of stone, but he would be wise to keep out. The Red Cap is easly distinguished, even from a distance, because of his fiery red eyes and red cap. He apears to be a short stocky man with long grey hair, eagle's claws instead of hands and iron boots. He can run at remarcable speeds.
He seeks human prey to renew the colour of his cap , which he dips in the victims blood. A human can avoid him by remembering to quote a few words out of the bible at which he disapears. |
