The púca is described as having dark or white fur or hair, and can shape-shift into various animals such as horses, goats, cats, dogs, and hares. It may also take on human form.
As shape-shifters, púcas can adapt to various situations and interact with humans in multiple ways. They are described as bringers of both good and bad fortune.
