| − | Robin Goodfellow was originally in English folklore a distinct figure from Puck, portrayed as a sort of brownie or hobgoblin, a being who attaches himself to a household and helps look after it, tidying up the house at night and performing other useful chores. (This is a particularly interesting role for the figure, in light of [[Burnett, Owen|Owen]]’s own function in [[David Xanatos|Xanatos]]’s household, as almost a mundanized version of the brownie - although this seems to be a coincidence, for Greg Weisman was unaware of this role of Robin Goodfellow’s at the time that he was working on the series). One account of him, a 17th century pamphlet, actually portrays him as the son of Oberon by a human woman (although this is not Puck’s actual origin in the Gargoyles Universe). It was [[Shakespeare, William|William Shakespeare]] who equated Robin Goodfellow with [[Puck]] in his [["A Midsummer Night’s Dream"]].
