Kisah dan tradisi
Far darrig atau fear dearg adalah jenis peri dalam mitologi Irlandia (Irish). Nama far darrig adalah pelafalan Anglophone dari kata Irlandia fear dearg, "Lelaki Merah" (Red Man), karena ia dikatakan mengenakan mantel dan topi merah. Mereka kadang disebut Rat Boys karena konon gemuk, berkulit gelap berbulu, bermoncong panjang, dan berekor kurus. Far darrig umumnya digambarkan pendek, kadang tinggi, dan dikatakan dapat mengubah ukurannya; uraian T. Crofton Croker tahun 1832 dari Munster menyebut tingginya sekitar 2,5 kaki, berwajah keriput, berambut kelabu panjang, dan bertopi kerucut. Dalam Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry yang disunting W. B. Yeats, far darrig digolongkan peri penyendiri bersama leprechaun dan clurichaun, dan disebut sibuk dengan lelucon, terutama lelucon keji, misalnya menukar bayi dengan changeling. Menolak permintaan far darrig membawa sial karena mereka sangat kreatif dalam memikirkan hukuman. Menurut artikel fr, ia cenderung memaksa penghuni rumah menerimanya dan memberinya tempat terbaik di dekat perapian, lalu mengeringkan pakaiannya yang busuk di atas tungku; jika ditolak, ia akan terus mengganggu mereka.
The far darrig or fear dearg is a kind of fairy in Irish myth. The name is an Anglophone rendering of the Irish fear dearg, 'Red Man', for the red coat and cap he is said to have on. They are sometimes called Rat Boys, being said to be fat, with dark hairy skin, long snouts and thin tails. Usually short though at times tall, the far darrig is said to change size; an 1832 account by T. Crofton Croker from Munster makes them about 2.5 feet tall, wrinkle-faced, long grey-haired and wearing a sugarloaf hat. In Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry, edited by W. B. Yeats, the far darrig is classed as a solitary fairy with the leprechaun and clurichaun, and is said to busy himself with practical jokes, above all gruesome ones, such as swapping babies for changelings. Refusing a far darrig's request was unlucky, as they were very inventive with punishments. According to the fr article he tends to force householders to take him in and give him the best seat by the fire, then dries his foul clothes over the hearth; if refused, he plagues them without end.
