tífleiki

Tífleiki is a fictional creature originating from the folklore of the Riven Isles. Descriptions of tífleiki vary significantly, but they are commonly depicted as small, ethereal beings associated with mist and twilight. Their appearance is often described as translucent or shimmering, with no distinct features beyond a general humanoid shape or sometimes resembling elongated, spectral insects. They are said to inhabit damp, shadowy places, particularly coastal caves and ancient, moss-covered forests.

Legends surrounding tífleiki often portray them as mischievous or elusive rather than malicious. It is believed they can manipulate fog, causing travelers to become disoriented or leading them astray. Some tales suggest tífleiki communicate through soft, melodic whispers or by mimicking natural sounds like the rustling of leaves or the lapping of water. Encounters with tífleiki are rare, and those who claim to have seen them often describe a fleeting glimpse or a feeling of being watched. There is no known physical evidence of their existence, and they are generally considered a product of local mythology and storytelling.
