[edit]

I have removed the following content from the page, as it doesn't relate to actual folkloric spriggans, but perhaps to a description of them in some fictional medium. If that source can be identified I suggest copying it back to the page as something like 'Depiction in (source)'. --Changeworks 14:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spriggans are mythical/fictional diminutive members of the fairy kingdom, more closely related to sprites and boggles than goblins and dwarves. In the natural state, they could easily be mistaken for a cat if seen from a distance, due to their large luminous eyes, furry bodies, and long tails.[citation needed] But spriggans are otherwise only similar to cats in their complete disinterest in anything other than their own agenda - which, being of the nature of other faeries, changes from moment to moment. Being a prominent figure of faerie, they possess certain magical powers that allow them to change shapes at dramatic speeds, ranging in size from tiny insects to towering monsters. They can also travel instantly across vast distances in the blink of an eye.[citation needed]
