A mischievous or evil spirit also called Robin Goodfellow (4)

I believe the answer is:

puck

(Other definitions for puck that I've seen before include "One of 5 [FAIRIES]" , "Mischievous sprite, Robin Goodfellow (AMND)" , "Mischievous sprite or Gaelic goat" , "played with on ice" , "something a bit like a mouse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
