Hobb, Polywiki

Description

Polywiki are some kind of distant relatives to the dwarves, but not quite dwarves yet. They are stout, males have beards and they are NOT friendly, at least not to people.

They seem to be tied to the earth, but additionally to plant life, as they grow green plant like hair. They have nut brown skin and they are hard workers. They work in the gardens, they work in the groves, they work in the fields, and they are master botanist and are such hard workers that they are known to punish laziness by death. Wow…what if these guys were my parents? They must not have many children who make it through their teenage years. I don’t know if they are “evil” but I know they are not good either. I would place them at Chaotic Neutral.

I’m sure they have an array of magical powers having to do with plants and nature, just like Dryads and Hamadryads and Treants.

Excellent illustration!
If you do not mind, I want to place it on the russian site about fictional creatures:

Of course, with your attribution and with link here.

If not difficult, could you write anything about them, it is said in Briggs and what exactly the book? The fact that they are the spirits of the field in Slavic mythology (the russian "поле" [pole] = "field"; in the singular - полевик [polevik], полевой [polevoy]), and I wonder what they have got to Briggs.
