Redcap

Redcaps are a variant of goblins from YGGDRASIL that can be summoned through either using a Horn of the Goblin General under specific conditions or a special book found in Nazarick's library Ashurbanipal.

Appearance
Redcaps are described as evil and twisted looking goblins. Barring weapon difference aside, every Redcap variant seems to commonly wear a pointed red hat and steel boots.

Abilities
Redcaps have the ability to hide within their summoner's shadow and possibly their target too for that matter. At the same time, they can even go as far as reemerging out of that person's shadow if ordered to and then carry out their surprise attack.

A Redcap's primary weapon in battle seems to vary among its summoners like Enri Emmot and Lupusregina Beta. For starters, while the ones summoned by Enri wields a long scythe, the kind summoned by Lupusregina is equipped with an axe instead.

Trivia

 * A Redcap in English folklore is a malevolent, murderous goblin that is said to inhabit ruined castles especially where there were once the scenes of tyranny or wicked deeds, and is known for soaking its cap in the blood of its victims.
 * Enri has thirteen of these beings as a division called Goblin Bodyguards serving under her leadership.
 * Lupusregina conjured forth thirty Redcaps that were estimated to be level 43. She also heavily hinted on the fact that these Redcaps are the lowest-leveled goblins summonable in Nazarick's library.
 * Redcap's ability seems to be exactly similar to that of the Shadow Demon's ability.
