In Scottish and Irish folklore, the 'bodach' is a trickster, depicted as either a faerie or a hobgoblin. He comes down the chimney to kidnap naughty children; used as a cautionary tale to frighten children into good behaviour.

If cattle are taken ill, they may be elf-struck, shot with a faerie arrow.
According to Cumbrian folklorist Marjorie Rowling, elves got the arrows from faeries, who got them from mermaids.
