Problem je u tome sto se radi o knjizevnom tekstu pa ne mogu ici u opise i definicije. Mali sme�i vilenjak mi zasad zvuci najbolje. Ili mozda dobri sme�i vilenjak?

smeđi vilenjak

Ne znam kako bi se 'prepjevalo', jer u nama bliskim mitologijama (slavenska) nema takvih bića. To je zapravo podvrsta vilenjaka.

No, takva imena ili nazivi vrsta se prevode.
Na primjer:
elf = vilenjak
dwarf = patuljak

Prema definiciji to je škotski vilenjak:

Brownie - a Scottish domestic fairy; the servants’ friend if well treated. Brownies are brown or tawny spirits, in opposition to fairies, which are fair or elegant ones; a legendary good-natured elf that performs helpful services at night.

agree Sonja Bulesic Milic : Definicija mi zvuči i poput "domaćih" iz priča I.B.Mažuranić!
