  • Púca, auch Puka, Phooka, Phuka, Pooka, kymrisch Pwca oder Bwca, kornisch Bucca, in Manx Glashtyn, ist ein Geschöpf aus der keltischen Mythologie. Er ist ein boshafter und zauberkräftiger, aber relativ harmloser Geist bzw. Kobold, der zusammen mit Gnomen und Zwergen im Untergrund lebt. In Irland gehört er in die Nähe der Fairies und Leprechauns aus den Síde, in Schottland zu den Brownies. Er kann mit dem gallischen Gott Bugius und dem deutschen Puk in Verbindung gebracht werden. Besonders zu Samhain sollen Púcas in Irland den Menschen erscheinen. Die walisisch/kornischen Knockers sind den Púcas sehr ähnlich. (de)
  • Púca a thugtar ar arracht sí i miotaseolaíocht na nGael a fhuadaíonn daoine, ach d'fhéadfaidís a bheith ina gcreach nó ina gcabhair le daoine. Riocht capaill nó gabhair a bhíonn ar an bpúca de ghnáth cé go mbíonn riochtanna eile air amanna, m.sh. riocht iolair. Tugtar pwca air i mBreatnais agus tá bucca ann i miotaseolaíocht Chorn na Breataine, focal a thagann ón nGaeilge. Déantar iad a cheangal le neacha neamhsaolta eile, uaireanta: "Mná ab eadh na , agus fir ab eadh na púcaí." (ga)
