Pretty much what it says on the can. I was wondering if there where any mythical creatures or "folk" (little people, Huldufolk, etc) associated with bells, or the sound of bells.

Thank-you in advance to anyone who takes the time out of their day to answer my curiosity.

I somehow associated fairies with bells. Quick check on wiki shows that

Bells also have an ambiguous role; while they protect against fairies, the fairies riding on horseback — such as the fairy queen — often have bells on their harness

There is a prooflink on the passage: "Briggs (1976) "Bells" p. 20."

I believe there is a creature called the Al that is found in old gnostic texts that is described as one of the possible companions for Adam. It wears a hat made of bells that makes it invisible and is known to cause miscarriages and take the livers of living creatures. This all stems from its hatred of being rejected by Adam.
