Attire: Rough, practical clothing suitable for a mountain dweller, possibly made of coarse wool or animal hides, in muted, natural colors like browns, greys, and dark greens. Perhaps a simple tunic and trousers, with sturdy boots.

Wants: To satisfy his insatiable greed for food and drink, and to assert his dominance over humans by taking what he pleases.

Flaw: Overconfidence in his magical hats and underestimation of human cleverness, leading to his downfall.
