A stupid, annoying character in a video game that is most likely in the way. They may be put there for effect and cuteness but they are unnecessary and people playing the game usually use friendly fire on them. I.E.: The little bears in Star Wars Battlefront Ps2 version.
Wow, I love playing this game but there are so many fagleaf characters in the way.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
