The Elk Valley Field Dwarf (TLF’s Cryptid of the Day)
Welcome to The Lycaeus Frequency’s Cryptid of the Day, a month-long series detailing a cryptid one day at a time for the month of October—by Redwood Voice’s Sebastian Monroe.
Today’s cryptid is the Elk Valley Field Dwarf. Reported in Del Norte County as recently as 2018, these creatures grow no taller than 3 feet in height. They appear as dirty humans with modes of dress pulled from dumpsters and nearby woodlands. They also have been seen to steal toddler’s clothing to use for their own purposes.
Though the Internet lacks depictions, statements, or sightings of the Elk Valley Field Dwarf, Dwarves themselves have been spotted, depicted, and adored in folklore and pop culture at many times, in many forms. These are the Völuspá Dwarves, written in the Poetic Eddica poem “Völuspá” (ad 800-1100). This depiction is from Danish artist Lorenz Frølich, 1895.
Their natural habitat lies in the fields of Elk Valley and other similar biomes. They are known to be extremely difficult to document due to their immense speed. They’ve been reported to run at the speed of a car, keeping pace with a driver from the Park City Superette along the fence until there was a large patch of grass where it turned off into, not to be seen again. They’ve caused many a fright for nocturnal travelers on the road, giving off an aura of malice to those who have witnessed them.
So far though, no malicious acts have been perpetrated by the field dwarves. No one has yet had a conversation with or seen the corpse of a field dwarf, so it is likely they have a society somewhere out in those fields where they choose to bury their dead. Regardless, the species is elusive to this day, so taxonomical work has been limited.

So, should you be driving down Elk Valley Road at night, keep an eye out and you might just spot one.
This has been the Lycaeus Frequency Cryptid of the Day.
