Seems like OP is not familiar with fae mythology.
Could you offer what you know?
You can’t trick me into giving you all my knowledge, faerie!!

Off the absolute top of my head there’s the redcap. Depending on the material it can be depicted as a gnome, goblin, or kobold with a jaunty looking red hat (generally long and pointy like a gnome hat or like Link’s hat in Legend of Zelda).
It keeps the hat red by dying and regularly re-dying it with its victims’ blood.
There’s also a number of depictions of pixies as essentially flying piranha.
But this sort of mythology isn’t some deep secret, it’s everywhere outside of the kid friendly/disney filtered stuff. I’m sure a simple search will net you tons of content.
Shoot, I was just referencing the modern interpretations of fae, but that’s absolutely fascinating! As recompense for unintentionally misleading you, here are a few of my favorite fairy artworks by Arthur Rackham
