The Dokkaebi, Korean goblins who have soft spots for pretty girls and hedonistic feasts, thrive in folktales and as gargoyle-like ornamental totems.

 

The Dokkaebi is a Robin Hood like spirit...

 

He takes from the cruel and evil to reward those that do good...

He is also known as a playful prankster and joker...

 

If you catch him in an extra playful mood he may try to challenge you to his favorite pastime - wrestling....

 

Most Dokkaebi to carry a kind of club or mallet called a dokkaebi bangmang'i (도깨비 방망이).

 

They are like magic wands, from which it can summon anything it wants. Unfortunately, when it gets something by using it, it gets things by "stealing" from someone else, because this bangmang'i can only summon existing things, and it doesn't create objects out of thin air...

 

Dokkaebi can also have a cap which is called dokkaebi gamtu (도깨비 감투). Its most well-known ability is that it gives the wearer invisibility.

 

Remember to be a good doer though, because the Dokkaebi always knows...
