<h2 id="hodglobins">Hodglobins</h2>

These are domestic **sprites** from British traditions that typically dwell inside the home somewhere near the hearth fire. Small, about forty centimetres tall, they are usually good-natured, though if given reason they can become very angry.

To calm an angered hodglobin, one must leave a piece of cake on the mantelpiece and gather the family around the hearth, keeping their eyes closed until the sprite forgets its anger.
