Pure beeswax Gonk.
Gonks originate from Nordic mythology. They are a mix of a gnome and a hobgoblin.
According to folklore, these curious little creatures were said to seek the warmth of barns and houses in the colder seasons. If families treated them well, they were said to protect the family and give them good luck. If the family did not respect the gonk, then they would play tricks on the family!
Behind the story is a message about the importance of being welcoming and hospitable to guests.
