I love the locational detail of these Pooka, I think it is so fascinating that while they may be mischievous they are also protective and guardians of sorts. If you are able to elaborate on the details that have to do with Fae instead of the assumption that we understand Fae, it would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you. Also under behavior, the second paragraph, the paragraph starts with p] which I'm assuming wasn't meant to be there... Love the idea, have fun as you continue to worldbuild I hope to come across more of your ideas!!
