"Oh, how good that no one knows,
that Rumpelstiltskin is my name!"

When the dwarf came to the queen on the third day and she revealed his
name, Rumpelstiltskin lost his bargain. In the 1812 edition of the
Brothers Grimm tales, Rumpelstiltskin then "ran away angrily, and
never came back". The ending was revised in a final 1857 edition to a
more gruesome version where Rumpelstiltskin "in his rage drove his
right foot so far into the ground that it sank in up to his waist;
then in a passion he seized the left foot with both hands and tore
himself in two." Other versions have Rumpelstiltskin driving his right
foot so far into the ground that he creates a chasm and falls into it,
never to be seen again. In the oral version originally collected by
the brothers Grimm, Rumpelstiltskin flies out of the window on a
cooking ladle

The name Rumpelstilzchen in German means literally "little rattle
stilt". (A stilt is a post or pole providing support for a structure.)
A rumpelstilt or rumpelstilz ("rattle stilt") was the name of a type
of goblin, also called a pophart or poppart ("rapper" or "thumper")
that makes noises by rattling posts and rapping on planks, similar to
a rumpelgeist ("rattle ghost") or poltergeist ("noisy ghost"), a
mischievous spirit that clatters and moves household objects. (Other
related concepts are mummarts or boggarts and hobs that are
mischievous household spirits that disguise themselves.)

Rumpelstiltskin had what is now popularly known as an "anger
management problem."
(Possibly also "delusions of grandeur.")

It's scary that it even works on the level that North is kinda short.
