I know this video is a week late but honestly it's not my fault... a goblin ate my script, that is the totally believable and 100% legit excuse I'm going with. Also no goblins were harmed in the making of this video.

The thing about getting goblins out of your home with clothes reminds me of a German fairy tale:
A cobbler and his wife have three of them living in their house, always finishing unfinished shoes during the night.
One night the wife decides that they deserve a nice reward, especially since the nights are cold and the poor creatures must be freezing. So she and her husband make beautiful miniature clothes for them and hide during the night, to see what will happen.
The three goblins find the clothes and are seriously happy to get some fancy clothes.
So they decide that with these new clothes, they don't want to be cobblers anymore and disappear from the house. But they leave a blessing behind so the cobbler's business flourishes for as long as he and his wife live.
I really like this tale. For me it's one about gratitude and appreciation of hard work.

I think the closest thing we have for mischievous Goblins in realife is Raccoons.

*shuffles uncomfortably*

[kiklonio]

"Time is money, friend!"
"Gimme you' gold or I'll eat your children!"
"Hobogoblin"
"I'm not a goblin in disguise..."


At this point, I'm just here to see you slowly slip deeper into madness.

I'm an English major who's planning on going into fantasy writing. For years, Goblins, Trolls, and Orcs go hand-in-hand as evil humanoid minions of the Dark Lord in so much fantasy. In my series, I'm turning that trope on its head with the 3 clans have their own distinct cultures, traditions, and lifestyles, just as sentient and capable of good and evil as the Elves, Dwarves, and everyone else. And instead of being allies their respective nations are sworn enemies and have been at war with each other for centuries.

Styx is an amazing character and a perfect example of a goblin.

We repel goblins in the USA because our currency is not backed by gold.
