The redcaps are murderous goblins, elves, dwarfs or fairies. They are said to kill travellers that stray into their home and they dye their hats with the blood of their victims for which they get their name. The redcaps must kill regularly because if the blood staining their hats dries out they will die! Redcaps are extremely fast, outrunning a Redcap is supposedly impossible. Mostly they have a pikestaff in their left hand.
