Le Nain Rouge: He must be appeased, lest misfortune strike. DO NOT HIT LE NAIN WITH YOUR CANE like Antoine did. LOOK what happened to Antoine.
One of the first truly American Cryptids, dating to 1701, or so Legends of Le Détroit by Marie Caroline Watson Hamlin asserts, um, some time&later. & maybe he’s Nanabohzo, which makes him older, or some kind of Lutin that hitchhiked from Europe, -or some spooky spawn of both these cryptids-, but nobody’s certain.

I will remind you: Since Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac freaked le Nain out, le Nain has appeared at the Battle of Bloody Run in 1763, when Chief Pontiac made the creek through Elmwood Cemetery turn red with British blood. Le Nain Rouge was in attendance at the citywide fire of 1805. He was at the riots in 1967, and is probably currently running DTE.
