The Awd Goggie is an Unseelie fey that is classified in the ranks of the Nursery Bogies. Many of the tales of this wicked 'sprite' originate in East Riding, Yorkshire, England. Awd Goggie is said to resemble an enormous, hairy caterpillar large enough to swallow children whole. It is said to dwell in woods and orchards & was guardian & protector of ripening fruit.
The Awd Goggie has the ability to turninvisible. It will either employ this ability or lurk behing trees and wait for children who would venture into its domain to pick the unripened or ripening fruit without permission (of the grove owner or the Awd Goggie itself, it is uncertain). It would then spring out and 'get' the children, usually devouring them. |
