Fairies vary in size, but the majority are smaller than adult human beings. Most fairies have various human features. Some fairies, including pixies, have great beauty. Others have misshapen faces or deformed bodies. For example, trolls are short, ugly men with crooked noses and humped backs. Leprechauns are wrinkled little men. The banshees of Ireland and Scotland have long streaming hair, and their eyes are fiery red from continual crying. Many fairies wear green or white clothing with red capes. Brownies wear brown cloaks and hoods.
