Household spirits, who unlike the majority of faerie folk are kind and helpful to mortals. They chose a home or specific location to inhabit and take care of it at night (when the occupants are sleeping, as they despise being seen) in exchange for some small offerings of food or cream. If this exchange of goods for services is honoured they will be great allies and the occupants of the home will receive great prosperity but if they are mistreated or made unhappy enough a Brownie can transform into a "Hobgoblin" (see their entry).
Strengths: Can go "unnoticed" (not true invisibility) Very adept at camouflage and concealing themselves from detection. Produce positive probability fields ("good fortune") for their chosen households. Limited shapeshifting (mainly for disguise purposes not combat)
Weaknesses: Under extreme emotional distress they can go "rabid" and become hobgoblins. Innately docile
