The Far Darrig in particular is described as one who "busies himself with practical joking, especially with gruesome joking". Due to his red coat and cap, plus his gruesome sense of humour, it is possible that the Far Darrig was related to the Redcap of English folklore: though no reports of a connection have ever been made in folklore.
