Description

---

Goblins are grotesque faeries of about dwarf height. Various (sometimes conflicting) abilities and attributes have been given to them.

• Goblins can grow to anywhere from 30 cm to 2 m tall.
• They have a somewhat bestial appearance: their brow is fully covered with thick hair and their mouth is filled with yellowed, crooked teeth.
• They have some traits of old men, which can include shortsightedness, but they are described as wiser than humans.
• Goblins are usually portrayed as green in color.
• They can appear as animals.
• They are sometimes said to be mostly invisible to human eye.
• They can weave nightmares out of gossamer and insert them into the ear of a sleeping human.
• They steal human women and children and hide them away underground.
• Goblin women steal human babies, replacing them with ugly goblin babies (changelings).
• Goblin changelings are sometimes known as "oafs" or "crimbils".
• They are sometimes described as being an entirely male race.
• Female goblins are referred to as "hags" or "crones"
• Goblins are of the Unseelie Court, and war with fairies.
• A goblin smile curdles blood.
• A goblin laugh sours milk and causes fruit to fall from trees.
• It is said that they mimic human actions in their sardonic way, twisting human rituals and culture to show the worst aspects.
• Goblin pranks include hiding small objects, tipping over pails of milk, and altering signposts.
• In some circles, Goblins are considered to be the cousins of gnomes.
• Goblins are often associated with fire, or have the ability to create said element
• Goblins like to borrow horses and ride them all night. If a horse is tired in the morning, it is said a goblin rode it. If a horse is panicking, the goblin is trying to mount it.
• They are said to count the dead among their companions ('ghosts & goblins'). Goblins like to roam and cause mayhem during Halloween, along with a crowd of ghosts, witches, etc. It is the last day they can walk the surface before their caves are snowed in for the winter.
• Witches will not tolerate living with goblins.
• 'Goblin’s Thimbles' is another name for the foxglove plant.
• Like other fairies, goblins were more harmless early in history, before the Puritans demonized them.
• They sometimes eat humans.
• A favorite sport among Goblins is playing deadly pranks on humans, gnomes, elfs, and dwarfs (in RPG games).
• An infant goblin is sometimes confused with a Snotling (in Warhammer).
• A group of goblins is referred to as a horde.
• Much like their "good" counterparts, the Hobbits, Goblins love mushrooms, and utilize them for housing, recreation, and as food.
• Goblins despise Hobbits, and consider them a delicacy.
• Goblins suffer from discrimination in almost all fantasy settings (in RPGs).
• Goblins are often depicted posessing a coarse raspy sounding and slightly high-pitched voice.
• When speaking a human tongue, goblins will stereotypically refer to themselves in third person
• Goblins are often mistaken for imps among other sprites
• Goblins are sometimes believed to be associated with trolls
