Hmin Nat
An evil spirit. (See Burma.) Hobgoblin, Robin Goodfellow, or Puck: An English domestic fairy or brownie of nocturnal habits. He is of a happy disposition, and is believed to be one of the courtiers, probably the jester, at the court of Oberon. Reginald Scot, in his Discovery of Witchcraft says:-" Your grandames' maids were wont to set a bowl of milk for him for his pains in grinding of malt and mustard, and sweeping the house at midnight. This white bread, and milk, was his standard fee." He is perhaps best known in Britain by his appellation of Puck, and his qualities and attributes are represented under this name in Shakespeare's "Midsummer's Night's Dream." By some he is believed to be the demon who leads men astray during the night. Sometimes he is clothed in a suit of leather close to his body, and sometimes he wore green. He is usually represented as full of tricks and mischief.
