This part of my website will be about creatures that are not gnomes, but are like gnomes.
First of all, there is the dwarf. Dwarves are short, but taller then gnomes, probably about 3-4 feet tall. They have long beards and live underground. They love treasure, and are miners by trade. They are commonly mistaken to be gnomes themselves. All dwarves have beards. They have no conical hats and are of a different nature altogether then gnomes.
I will now tell you about leprechauns. Leprechauns are small, short men with red or brown beards. They wear either all green or all red (a common misconception is that they only wear green) and are associated with shamrocks. Many believe they are cobblers.
Domovoy/Domovoi/Domovoj are household spirits in Russia. The usually look like little old men, but can take the form of cats, dogs, bears, or even a resident of the house they reside in. They are generally good natured, but can start throwing things if angered.
Kikimora are generally considered to be the female counterpart of the Domovoy, as they are also Russian household spirits. They look like old women and are generally considered evil and bad luck, though can sometimes be helpful.
Also like the gnomes are goblins, defined as small, grotesque creatures that cause trouble for humans and like treasure. They are frequently depicted as having green skin, but it's more likely that their skin is more human-like.
And then, of course, are trolls, ugly beings, 48-84 inches tall (or 4-7 feet). They live on mountains or caves and traditionally steal children. They have dreadful hygeine. A favourite food of theirs is goat (roasted or raw). Not especially clever. Only comes out at night.
Closer to trolls than gnomes, but related by association, ogres are massive creatures with inhuman strength. They have humanlike feautures. Usually considered to be a synonym of giant, and while they are massive, they are only about half the size of a giant, possibly shorter. They are usually shown to be bald, or if they do have hair, it is matted and unkempt. Always represented as evil in folklore and fairytales.
Boggarts, from celtic mythology, are household spirits often found on farms. They are malevolont and bothersome, and try to play cruel tricks on humans.
In the northern British islands, we have the trow, a small creature very similar to the Nordic trolls. Live beneath ground. Lures human fiddlers into their lairs to play music for them. Like trolls, they only come out at night. Wear all grey. Generally feared and avoided, but they bring luck to families they take a liking to.
From Eastern Europe, we have the Leshy, a trickster forest spirit, is a shaggy old man wearing all green. When coming across travelers, he intentionally leads them astray. He protects wildlife. Through the night, you can hear him laughing.
The Dokkaebi are tricksy goblins from Korea. They can become temporarily invisible in order to play their pranks, or to steal from the wealthy and give it to poor people. They challenge travelers to wrestling matches.
Duendes are small, goblin-looking creatures from Latin America. Sometimes they can be vicious and unhelpful, but they adore small children. The guardians of neglected children.
In Scotland, there is the pech. They are short but extremely strong. Brew and drink heather ale. Fight the Scottish. Some say they constructed the stone megaliths with the giants.
Cornish and Devonish folklore presents us The Knockers (coblynao, in Wales), small underground creatures. They're benevolent and helpful, and knock on mine walls to warn miners of collapses in the mineshaft. They can also be mischevious and hide tools. Some think they're the spirits of dead miners.
