Wichtlein - Haunting the deep mines in Southern Germany, these destructive faeries usually appear as diminutive humanoids with long beards, and are constantly digging as to collapse the support beams of mines and endanger any humans inside. They certainly warn miners of disasters, like other underground faeries, but these are disasters that they provoke themselves. If any miners manage to survive their attacks, the creatures will follow them home and provoke poltergeist activity in their houses.
