Redcap

A Redcap is a magical creature, possibly related to elves and goblins. They resemble small, ugly people with sharp teeth and generally wear pointed caps which they dip in the blood of their victims- giving them their name.
Redcaps are carnivores that prey on humans. They are small and do not seem to be magically powerful, so they are mostly only a threat to children and, possibly, muggles.
Redcaps seem to have originated in the Old World, apparently in Scotland and Ireland, but they are now endemic, although uncommon, in North America as well.

“I smell mortal flesh
I smell blood.
I smell a little girl
Up to no good.”
In the summer of 2007, a group of roughly half a dozen Redcaps attacked eleven-year-old Alexandra Quick at Old Larkin Pond where she was trying to find a Naiad that she thought she had seen earlier. Alexandra was able to drive the Redcaps away and escape by using spontaneous magic to attack them with sparks and fireballs.
It was later revealed that Ben Journey had released these Redcaps in an attempt to murder Alexandra. This was the first of Journey's many murder attempts.
