**Trasgo**

The Trasgo or Trasgu is one of the most popular figures in Asturian mythology and folklore.

It is a very small household sprite, generally wearing a red cap. It is not evil, though it is quite a nuisance.

It tends to appear at night, while everyone is asleep: it makes noise searching for sweets, as it has a very sweet tooth.
