    Puckwudgies and fairies are so nostalgic for me as a kid my nature camp I went to had this old hollow tree by the creek was there home. We would leave little trinkets behind like acorns, seeds, little stones, one time a pineapple, and other stuff. One of my favorite batch of criptid/myth cause they gave so many fond memories of going in the woods to find them
