An engaging little imp that lives in the villages of the mountains of Carnia. Small, dark, quick, lively and omnipresent, his favourite pastime is tangling the cords used to tie hay sheaves. Or any kinds of ropes or string, shoelaces, hair or darning thread. Generally speaking, he doesn’t persist in tormenting those who accept the nuisance philosophically. He’s not dangerous, he’s just terribly irritating.
