Kuttichathan is a goblin-like being in Malabari Hindu folklore, often depicted as a portly adolescent boy, sometimes described as having a Sikha. Kuttichathan's tricks (such as setting his victims clothing on fire, throwing rocks at his victims, and beds turning into beds of thorn) cause great trouble to his victims but never do serious harm. He is said to demand food in exchange for freedom from his harassment. Some Hindus in Malabar believe that sacrificing a Rooster on a regular basis with the correct will appease Kuttichathan, otherwise he will terrorise their families.
