A Brownie is a part of Scottish folklore. Brownies are characterized as very tiny creatures. They are usually naked or have very little clothes on that are rags and they are usually males. Their often compared to goblins and they are especially known for their help in doing household chores. Brownies will clean a mortals house in return of a small gift or foods. However, they do not like to be seen while they are doing their work so mortals would oftentimes have to leave their payments to the goblins beforehand. Among their favorite rewards include a dish of cream, porridge, and honey. Brownies will abandon the home that they aid in if the mortals misuse them or if their gifts are called payments because they see it as more of an exchange of work for goods.
