This episode traces how the Cornish spriggan has moved from ancient hills and burial sites into modern videogames and popular culture. Beginning with game depictions in worlds such as Skyrim, The Witcher, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy, it explores how spriggans have become forest guardians, fae creatures, mining hoarders, or even forms the player can inhabit.

The focus then returns to Cornwall, drawing on the work of Robert Hunt and William Bottrell, where spriggans are tied to cairns, dolmens and ancient burial sites, feared as hostile custodians of buried treasure and agents of consequence rather than confrontation.

Rather than correcting modern interpretations, the episode places these versions side by side, reflecting on how folklore adapts over time, what changes as stories move into new mediums, and why the spriggan continues to hold its power.
