The fenoderee is a brownie-like creature that dwells on the Isle of Man

The fenoderee

Description

Tall, with twisted, ugly features and a body covered with black hair, the fenoderee is generally described as a Manx brownie. He was sometimes confused with the glasthan, a Manx hobgoblin, now blended with the Glastyn, a different kind of creature. He is usually naked and possess monstrous strength; anecdotal tales tell of his exploits around humans and there seems to be some confusion over whether he was a solitary individual or a class of super human creature.

Origin

The Fenoderee used to belong to the Ferrishyn, an elfish-tribe on the Isle of Man. Supposedly, he had been banished from Fairyland for falling in love with a mortal woman who lived in Glen Aldyn and not attending the Autumn Festival in Glen Rushen. Consequently, he was given his hairy shape and fated to wander alone till doomsday.

Behavior

He possesses great strength and is favored by farmers for helping with heavy agricultural tasks, and are famed for their skill, thoroughness and efficiency in harvesting crops. He may mischievously shake hands with someone, easily crushing the person's hand with his grip. However, people can take advantage of his dullness and instruct him to gather water in a sieve or round up a hare with a flock of sheep in revenge. Like all brownies, he is offended by thanks or gifts, especially of clothes, and will not tolerate criticism either.

The fenoderee has also been connected to the Crop circle phenomenon.
