Duendes are often described as small, mischievous spirits or goblins from folklore, especially in Spanish-speaking cultures and the Philippines.

Their appearance can differ widely based on the region, with some accounts depicting them as small, dark-skinned men in elegant green suits with large hats, while others describe them as small, elderly men with white beards. Duendes are known for their mischievous behavior, such as playing pranks like hiding or stealing small objects, particularly from children. Some tales also depict them as luring single women or enchanting those who accept their gifts. They are believed to inhabit a variety of places, including hidden spaces in homes, trees, caves, old trees, and even anthills (known as nuno sa punso in the Philippines).
