Piskies are small, mythical creatures from Cornish folklore, often depicted as mischievous and playful. They are typically described as having a human-like appearance, with pointed ears and a fondness for dancing and singing. Piskies are known to inhabit rural areas, particularly near moors and woodlands, where they are said to lead travelers astray or play tricks on unsuspecting people. In Cornwall, Piskies are often associated with the Piskie Stone, a notable landmark believed to be a gathering place for these creatures. While they can be troublesome, Piskies are generally considered harmless and are sometimes thought to bring good luck to those who encounter them.
