Hobb, Brownie

These are Brownies (aka Domovoi). They are household fairies of the Hobb “genus” and are helpful if you leave them food (traditionally milk and cake). Many depictions made them very little, like say, 1 foot tall. But I opted to go with larger depictions, 3 feet, because at one foot tall they wouldn’t be much help doing things around the house. I figured at 3 they can get most things done (sweeping, ironing, cooking, etc…) without hurting themselves.

Brownies are humble quant looking Hobbs with light brown to dark brown hair, nut brown skin and peasant like clothes, often brown. I imagine they are very pleasant little folk to, I couldn’t imagine what monster of a person would be cruel to brownies. And if you were cruel to brownies you may find Bogarts in your house instead.
