In Breton legend, the Nain (which means dwarf) is a black, menacing figure. He has feline claws on his hands and satyr-like hooves on his feet. He haunts dolmens and standing stones, and the inscriptions found upon them are supposed to be his work. His special day is Wednesday and an annual festival remembers him on the first Wednesday of May. He is the keeper of hidden treasure.
