The Bacoo is a creature of Caribbean mythology. It is described to be a dwarf sized creature like a leprechaun and even though there are similarities between these two myths, the actions and known behavioural patterns are different.

It’s said to be planted in one& #39;s yard and if you are aware of this creature& #39;s presence within the house compound, they can use it to their advantage as these creatures feed off of bananas and milk, the person that feeds them becomes their master and the bacoo brings them wealth.
