Wikipedia
A red cap or redcap, also known as a powrie or dunter, is a type of malevolent, murderous dwarf, goblin, elf or fairy found in Border Folklore. They are said to inhabit ruined castles found along the border between England and Scotland. Redcaps are said to murder travellers who stray into their homes and dye their hats with their victims' blood (from which they get their name). Redcaps must kill regularly, for if the blood staining their hats dries out, they die. Redcaps are very fast in spite of the heavy iron pikes they wield and the iron-shod boots they wear. Outrunning a redcap is supposedly impossible.
They are depicted as sturdy old men with red eyes, taloned hands and large teeth, wearing a red cap and bearing a pikestaff in the left hand.
The tale of one in Perthshire depicts him as more benign; living in a room in Grantully Castle, he bestows good fortune on those who see or hear him.
The Kabouter, or redcaps of Dutch folklore, are very different, and more akin to brownies.

Redcap is a 2006 novel by the author Brian Callison. Set over a span of 10 years from 1957 to 1967 it follows the rather unfortunate career of the protagonist, one Staff Sergeant Walker of the Royal Military Police commencing in the Cypriot conflict between EOKA and British Personnel and then skipping 10 years to Walker's final month prior to retirement whilst he is stationed in Berlin.
The novel differs strongly from Callison's other works in that it no way relates to the Navy; there are no nautical references whatsoever throughout the entirety of the story, most of the characters travel by means of Land Rover.

The redcap scuttled under chairs and over tables, hiding in every possible nook and cranny, trying always to make it to the door or to the wainscotting, but somehow Cord was always there first to drive it back.
Medor, Ayfa, Galbor Redcap, Skathe, Nukalavee the Skinless, Tetrol Bonecrusher, Bles Four-Fang, Betularn of the White Hand, and finally Sharn-Mes all accepted plaudits and stood down unchallenged.
