<h2 id="bwciod">Bwciod</h2>

Less amiable than [Brownies](/en/bestiario_mitologico/brownies/), these Scottish **sprites**, when they feel annoyed or mistreated, never recover their good humour or kindness, and the lives of the inhabitants of the house or farm where they dwell become unbearable.

Angered Bwciod may bang on the walls, causing loud noises and breaking objects. They can pinch those who are sleeping and hurl objects through the air.

The wrath of the Bwciod can only be controlled through a ritual that must be performed by a specialist in cleansing the home of these troublesome inhabitants.
