Follet is from the European Folklore Beastiary for Chivalry and Sorcery Role Playing Game by Steve Turner.
These French faeries are more urban than their British counterparts, having lived in French (and, it is said Romano-Gaulish) cities for centuries. They are usually about 2 feet tall, though some can change their size magically, and they often dress in jester’s motley, with bright, particoloured coats hung with small bells. They can shift into animal form at will, usually becoming goats. Follets are naturally invisible, or perhaps just very skilled at not being seen.
Through long familiarity, they have lost the faerie weaknesses toward Christianity and its trappings. Exorcisms, holy water, and the like have no effect on them at all, and some of them make a point of playing pranks on priests and other ecclesiastics. They only thing
they fear is steel, and many will flee from a drawn knife or sword.
Follets are inveterate tricksters with a ribald sense of humour, loving nothing more than to shock the prim and the sanctimonious. They pelt houses with stones and mud, bother women at their spinning, tangle horses’ manes, and generally behave like drunken troublemakers.
Humans who have the patience and good humour to endure their pranks can earn the friendship of a Follet. It helps its mortal friend by finishing work, tending animals, and cleaning the house, just as a brownie or other domestic faerie can do. However, a Follet never stops being a Follet, and from time to time it simply cannot resist a good prank – though these only turn fatal if it is angry.
