A Red Cap is a murderous fey that preys upon travelers seeking refuge in ruins or abandoned castles. Distantly related to both goblins and fairies, it appears as a small ugly man with unkempt hair, red eyes, and wickedly crooked teeth. A red cap wears small iron shoes and a blood-red hat upon its head; its shoes magically enhance its speed, so that if somehow removed the red cap’s movement rate is halved. These shoes are useless to anyone other than a red cap. A red cap prefers to attack only helpless targets, usually with a knife or other bladed weapon that will spill blood.
