boggart description: Frikei
The glossy coated Frikei is renowned for its crafting abilities, in weaving grass and small twigs to sculpture the boggart dens, which most boggarts live in. Its nimble-fingered skills have come from untangling its long fur from knotting. When seen, it can be confused with a running wig from a distance, with its long sweeping hair. As a craft skilled boggart it will commonly lay traps for protection from intruders, such as hidden pits and knotted walls of thorny branches.
Brownies: If you manage to ever get past all the Frikei traps to get close to it, giving it a gift of rare things which it can sculpt and make with and this will work as a way of building its trust. If a Frikei when working on a piece of sculpture is disturbed, or a piece of its work is damaged, it can become very aggressive, so keep this in mind if you ever manage to tame one.
