The Far Darrig

The "red man" is a prankster of the forest. Called the red man due to his red cape and top hat, this creature is more closely related to rodents.They can be recognized by their hairy skin, long snouts, and skinny tails if one could get them to stop long enough to take a close look.

While they appear to be feral creatures, they are incredibly frail, and survive by tricking travelers into precarious situations, and stealing whatever is left behind.
