A pooka is a Celtic mythological figure. It is a fairy in the form of some kind of animal.

From Wikipedia:
Pooka, an only slightly mischievous version of the creature from the stage play and movie Harvey, in which the title character, an invisible six-foot-three-and-a-half-inch rabbit, is described by the movie's main character Elwood P. Dowd as a pooka. "Pooka - from old Celtic mythology - a fairy spirit in animal form - always very large. The pooka appears here and there - now and then - to this one and that one - a benign but mischievous creature - very fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?"

A pooka is a michevious spirit. I believe it's from the celtic lore. There's a great movie with Jimmy Stewart called Harvey, which concerns such a creature.

Pooka is an Irish boogeyman type spirit. It can change it's shape and can either be a relatively harmless trickster or an evil deadly monster.

Yeah, what they all said, but I will add that it's actually spelled pwca.
