Widdershins is a forest sprite that inhabits the bronze shrine of Cernunnos. Widdershins became obsessed with making bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. Though not a troll, he asks for copper or tin as a toll for safe passage through the Forest Perilous on the way to Glastonbury Tor. The Hunter had it occupied with flakes of tin.
He plays tricks on those who do not pay his toll.
