The Far Darrig (Red Man) tends to be restricted to Donegal in Ireland. He is very elusive and no reliable description of him exists. The reports on sightings of him range from him being a small man dressed in red to a gray giant.
However, it is agreed that he likes play some pretty wicked pranks on mortals. He has a tendency to show up at a home on cold nights demanding shelter. Those turning him away are said to regret it because he takes the luck of the house with him. Those admitting him are reminded of his visit for days because his smell lingers for days. The Red Man is not known for good personal hygiene.
