A Short History of Goblins

Goblins have many faces in the modern time period; the fairy tricksters, the cannon fodder for your beginning adventurers, the helpful tinkerers, or the KZbinr Daniel Greene.
I hope you enjoy the second video in what I hope to be a series of the Origins of Fantasy Creatures.
If you want to check out the books I talk about in the video, they are:
The Princess and the Goblin by George Mcdonald
The Father Christmas Letters by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Goblin history go crazy

[@bujmoose3992]

In Tolkien, the Orcs were descended from Elves that had been corrupted by Morgoth (the Master of Sauron).

[@NathanaelStottlemyer]

Of course! I decided to go into more detail about that stuff when I make a video about orcs!

[@decem_sagittae]

From Middle English gobelyn, from Old Northern French gobelin (compare Norman goubelin, Walloon gobelin), possibly a blend of Old Dutch *kobeholdo (“goblin”) (compare Dutch kabouter, German Kobold) and Late Latin cobalus (“mountain sprite”), from Ancient Greek κόβαλος (kóbalos, “rogue, knave; goblin”). Displaced native Old English pūca from Proto-Germanic *pūkô (“a goblin, spook”).

Can you do a video on ogres?

[@NathanaelStottlemyer]

I can try. I’ve been wanting to make some other history of videos and have been looking for topics with an interesting history. I’ll look into it.

[@saschafeld5528]

No matter wich king of goblins they are Orcbolg will slay them.

Santa clause doesn't exist in the UK it's still father Christmas

[@NathanaelStottlemyer]

Figured that, but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to say something for certain if I didn't know. Thanks!
