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.

Since this is a reference to goblins in modern forms of Japanese anime/manga, has anyone read the manga or the light novel of Re: Monster? I am mostly curious since it is another isekai like Reincarnated Slime and in it the MC actually starts out as a goblin. They also change up the folklore of the goblins in this story, having it be like goblins are a kind of beginning larvae form of monster and depending on the training and accomplishments that goblin achieves they can become other types of monsters, with some exceptions.

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.

About the goblins with holes in their hands. In the Netherlands, there's a saying for the type of people who don't think before they buy and spend it as soon as they have some. In Dutch you can say that that person (literal translation) 'has a hole in his/her hand'.

I felt like a five year old hearing a story again and it was honestly so much fun.

In the webcomic Goblins (a fantastic webcomic I highly recommend it) the goblins are portrayed more as a nomadic neolithic society who are only "evil" because of their god Magubliyet that constantly demands messed-up things. It's based on Dungeons and Dragons (3.5e) and shows goblins in a light rarely seen in fiction.

Yes? You have to keep in mind that goblins, brownies, kobolds, gnomes and other assorted names for whimsical or mischievous spirits and creatures were often and still technically are pretty interchangeable. Yeah, if you were dealing with a mostly helpful, hairy, impish creature you'd generally refer to them as say brownies but you could also call them a goblin and no one would really care because there's no set definition outside popular, derivative fantasy settings on what is or isn't a goblin and even then that's not an across the board agreement.

I played a Goblin Ranger in D&D who was a self professed "King of the Cistern". Mostly because I was the only one who could stand to live down there, but whatever. It counts.

I love this stuff! Also, love the skyrim music in the background 👍

A very unique and mystical subject. I remember I used to have "The field guide to the little people" written by Nancy Arrowsmith. That book got me acquainted and aware of these small and short and invariably talented and gifted individuals. My mother and grandmother would talk on occasion of their houses dumavoys, russalkas and voydyanis since they were of Russian descent. I love hearing about this kind of stuff and have always wondered what I would say if I actually had the chance to speak to one of the more civil typed ones.

In Dragonfable and other games by Artix Entertainment, you can encounter goblins that are called "sneevil". Mostly your typical goblins, except one thing; they don't want gold, they want boxes. They absolutely love empty boxes, even more than cats, and will do everything to get their hands on them, which is the plot of a number of quests. And then there is that time when the player buys the loyalty of a sneevil king and his entire army with thousands of boxes, all though the king only knew that "thousands" is more than 5.

Awesome! Finally a good recommendation from KZread. Subscribed. Now give me gold!

From the moogs of the plane of Rath to the hardened warriors and survivalists of the plane of Tarkir the goblins of the magic multiverse provides examples of all the archetypes you mentioned along with some truly unique and interesting twists on the goblin concept. Among the the greatest examples of goblin kind of the multiverse we have Squee a goblin from the plane of dominaria. After being caught by the Phyrexians during their invasion of his home plane he was cursed with immortality so his captors could enjoy themselves by killing him over and over again. As a card flavor text informs us squee doesn't view his condition as a curse and as a side effect he's also the oldest known goblin in the multiverse and for a short lived and accident prone race that's quite impressive.

Love it great job, it had me laughing hard 👍🏻😇
