Redcaps frequently killed, indeed their existence depended upon it as their skullcaps were coated with blood that if dried out would kill the demons - thus the Redcaps had to frequently hunt and kill so as to dip their skullcap in fresh blood. Redcaps from English folklore are very different from those found in other cultures and are notable more villainious, as other Redcaps tend to be relatively harmless unlike their Border cousins, the reason behind this may well stem from the violent history of the land they are said to inhabit.

abstract
  • Redcaps frequently killed, indeed their existence depended upon it as their skullcaps were coated with blood that if dried out would kill the demons - thus the Redcaps had to frequently hunt and kill so as to dip their skullcap in fresh blood. Redcaps often wore iron-boots and attacked their victims with iron pikes - yet despite their awkward appearance Redcaps were said to be supernaturally fast to the point outrunning them was impossible for any mortal: due to Christian influence on folklore the Redcaps developed a few weaknesses over time such as being able to be scared away via reading from the bible, though like most things the power of such prayers were probably based on individual belief on its effectiveness. Redcaps from English folklore are very different from those found in other cultures and are notable more villainious, as other Redcaps tend to be relatively harmless unlike their Border cousins, the reason behind this may well stem from the violent history of the land they are said to inhabit.
