Articles relating to the Puck (Goodfellows), their counterparts in European folklore, and their depictions in fiction and art. They are demons or fairies which can be depicted as domestic sprites or nature sprites. Puck may also be called The Goodfellows or Hobgoblin, in which Hob may substitute for Rob or Robin. This goes back to the character "Robin Goodfellow" and his name. The name Robin is Middle English in origin, deriving from Old French Robin, the pet form for the name Robert.
