possess the bodies of humans. They delight in punishing humans for any harm they've done to them, intentionally or not. A pooka, also called a
puck (as in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"), or a pwcca, is a mischievous Faerie who particularly delights in confounding travellers

is extremely wise. (submitted by Shannon Patrick Sullivan)
