✿ The Book of Oberon ✿
Folger MS V.b.26
❀
Robin Goodfellow (Puck)
Jester and Fool of Oberon's Court
Appearance
A goat-footed figure with the face of a mischievous boy, horns barely visible beneath a tangle of brown curls. He carries a broom and wears nothing but a waistcoat of mouse skin. Constantly grinning.
Powers & Abilities
Shapeshifting, illusion, and misdirection. Can lead travelers astray or guide them true. Performs household tasks at supernatural speed when bribed. Curses those who offend him with minor but persistent misfortunes.
Method of Summoning
Puck cannot truly be summoned — he appears when he chooses. However, leaving a bowl of cream and a new broom at the threshold on a full moon night will attract his attention. Address the empty air with respect and humor. He is already listening.
Notable Characteristics
Unpredictable and fundamentally amoral. His favors and his pranks are dispensed with equal enthusiasm. The only reliable way to manage Puck is to amuse him. Boredom makes him dangerous. He is Oberon's most trusted and most troublesome servant.
