Are they more common in easter religious stories? Where did all the Little People go? They have been with us forever and they are with us today. How did they influence religious books or were they all just left out?

Super curious. Thanks!

Mostly just left out of the Abrahamic religions, in which deformities were viewed as either divine punishment or a mark of the devil.

They’re more often represented in other religions (Norse, Celtic, African, etc), but even then they’re frequently the bad guys.
