A List of Dutch and Flemish Elves and Spirits

[QuirkyBestiary]

I found this while I was looking for information on the impressively-horrific Dutch boogeyman called the Tongesnaier, eventually tracing the info on the creature back to a Dutch mythical creature wiki. One of the sources that the website listed was the following website:
Here it is!

Lol, these monster names sound terrible for me personally, as I'm Dutch myself.

Anyway, some notes:

Aardmannetje = Same (dutch word for) Gnome
Alruin = Mandragora / Mandrake / Alraune
Alven = Elf (though this is an old forgotten Dutch word, as now elves are just called Elf in Dutch)
Assepoesters = Dutch word for Cinderella
Boeman = Bogeyman
Draak = Dutch word for Dragon, not a separate creature.
Drol = Poo in Dutch, but also Troll I guess...
Duivel = Dutch for Devil
Dwaallichtje = Dutch for Will o Wisp
Engel = Dutch for Angel
Grijpvogel = Dutch for Griffon, not a separate species!
Heks = Just Hag in Dutch
Hellehond = Hellhound in Dutch
Kabouter = Also Gnome
Meerman / Zeemeermin = Merman and Mermaid, nothing else.
Reuzen = Dutch word for Giants, not a special type of giant, just overal giants.
Spook = Dutch word for Ghost
Weerwolf = Just Werewolf (this one is just stupid, as werewolf means human-wolf, in dutch weer = weather / and Again... so weather/again wolf? LoL, how translation can go wrong!)
Wisselkind = Same word and creature as Changeling (wissel = change, kind = child)

Thanks! I added the Reuzen anyway, because it said on the site that they were sometimes considered to be demons or other spirits in the forms of giant humanoids, and so that was different enough for me. I'll make certain to avoid the other ones, though. I might add the Dwaallichtje, purely because I have a lot of Will-O-The-Wisp variants and so one more won't hurt

Dwaallichtje would translate into Wandering Little Light. Dwaal = Wander, and Lichtje = Little (the je part) Light (licht)

Thanks! So basically it's just a nondescript Will-o-the-Wisp entity. I'll probably end up adding it anyway. I've just discovered another site with loads of really obscure Turkish demons complete with beautiful artwork - so I'll make a new post in this category.
