My favourite are the wee free men.
They’re not pixies, but pictsies. Their accent is a bit Scottish. They seem to have blue colored skin, but actually those are tattoos and they believe they’re currently in the afterlife (and must have been really nice persons in their previous actual life because they’re convinced they’re currently in heaven)
I always found that a bit lame and over the top.
The I learned that in northern england there once lived a keltic clan called the Picts. They were covered in blue tattoos and the kelts famously believed they lived in the afterlife and life was so good they were convinced they lived in heaven.
