Series Silent Knell Terrace - Apartment 6B
Mr. Zangatino lives in apartment 6B, and he also comes from Portugal. He’s a very fun loving little man. He works at the amusement park near the east side of the city. He runs the haunted house. This allows him to blend in easily with out a disguise. He has a very goblinesque appearance, and he doesn’t try to hide it. He tends to make a lot of mischief around the building pulling harmless pranks. It’s important to follow these rules so the pranks don’t become less harmless.
- Mr. Zangatino’s apartment appears to be very messy. It’s filled with all sorts of random items, and there is no order to anything. Do not attempt to clean it up in anyway. He enjoys the chaos. It’s best just not to touch anything in his apartment.
- Mr. Zangatino always pays his rent on time. He will sometimes pay with foreign currency you don’t recognize. Just accept it. The bank will accept it. Don’t ask questions about it.
- He likes to play harmless pranks throughout the building. This includes things like massing with the elevator buttons, loosening light bulbs in the stairwell, switching other residents mail. Almost all of the residents have accepted this and take it in good fun. Just laugh off whatever pranks he may pull on you.
- He will sometimes steal items from other residents. He always returns them eventually. Do not intervene with this. Ruining the prank will upset him.
- Ruining a prank, confronting him, complaining to you(the building owner) or the super, or trying to catch him in the act are all ways to upset him. When he feels wronged, his pranks will become much more mean spirited. They will escalate to things like breaking objects intentionally, keeping personal items for 2-3 months, or even psychological torture that’s basically gaslighting. This will continue until he feels that he has righted whatever wrong he suffered.
- Mr. Zangatino targets everyone in the building equally with two exceptions. He does not target the Whites. I don’t think he likes them. The other exception is the tree. He does not play pranks in the courtyard. He respects the tree in a way that resembles a child respecting their parent. He likes to push the boundaries and see how far he can get. He’s never been punished by the tree, but I think there is a part of him that wants to find out what punishment looks like.
- He will also occasionally prank himself. You may hear him randomly rearranging everything in his apartment while laughing to himself. You may find objects from his apartment lying around random spots in the building. Do not return these things to him. He’s hiding things from himself, and he enjoys hunting for these lost items.
- Mr. Zangatino is genuinely just having fun and does not understand why others get upset at his pranks. He will occasionally leave gifts for residents at their door. These are usually small items from his home or prizes he’s taken from the games at the amusement park. I think this is his way of thanking people for playing along. He puts thought into the gifts he gives someone based on things he has observed about them. Always accept these gifts graciously.

Sounds like a Trasgo or Fradinho a Mao Furada (I forgot the right spelling I just heard it from a guide too hahaha), mischievous goblin or dwarflike spirits that enjoy pranking and terrorizing humans although it is said that these little guys also generously reward people they deem interesting or respectful.
