Was gonna make a Goblin Slayer reference but looks like you guys got it covered

[@johnbard6367]

Wow that's you comment talk about goblin slayer anime i do having reading you comment i want to asking about you comment goblin slayer i say that's very very look so amazing right now i big fan goblin slayer anime fantasy world wow hey i hope you do reply my comment message 😊😁😆😆👍❤

[@gravitygravy6819]

was gonna say"goblin slayer"...

[@jayecks1]

That's a given lmao

[@dakotar1949]

You guys should do native American/Canadian folklore

[@oldpondfrog788]

Meagre referencing to sources again lets this cool presentation down badly. Constantly talking as if these things are true rather than told gets old after a while. (Got my up vote anyhow; original and well done nonetheless.)

[@svenkrules9855]

No one: Goblin Slayer: *GOOOBBBBLLLIIIIINNNNNSSSS!!!*

[@jorgesegninicubero3700]

In most Latin American countries we have similar creatures called "duendes" that are like small people who lure kids into the woods to lose them. Also they are believed to make pranks.

[@bknight045]

Interesting, in the Philippines we also have them in our folklore

[@elsupersexysayayin.1089]

What a coinsidence, Back in México, my grandpa used to tell me stories about goblins too, the one I remember the most is one where a family was sick of the pranks a goblin played on them, so they moved out, but when they had finished unpacking the woman of the family said to her husband "Honey, we forgot the broom" all of a sudden they hear "No worries, I got it" they turn and saw the goblin riding the family's dog with the broom in its hand. 😂😂

[@hubertberrum6242]

In spanish they are call los duendes which also mean elf, sprite(type of fairy) and leperchaun

[@vbucci6894]

[@ravishingrickrude77]

In Hawaii we have the Menehunes, they are royal and are not to be messed with. They built all the fish ponds and control the lava tubes on the islands. Also we have a wokwok bird that is half man half bird. Preys on the bebes innards.

[@SlashinatorZ]

How come nobody has ever caught a menehune?

[@banwa_non]

For us Bisaya people In Philippines we also have a night bird that is called a wakwak and eats babies similar to your wokwok in Hawaii.

[@NegaHumanX]

I've been trying to learn about the Menehunes. I want to use them in a story I'm writing, but I want to make sure I'm being as respectful as possible. Do you know any resources I can use?

[@TheHornedKing]

My favorite portrayal of goblins, are the sneevils from Dragonfable. They are little green goblins, which are obssessed with boxes. So obssessed in fact, that you at one point hire a sneevil king's army by giving him boxes. The best part is that the king apparently could only count to 5, and only knew that you were gonna give him more than 5.

[@ChiefBret]

I didn't realize the underhanded comedy in this until after my first video, a lot of your jokes are actually really funny and come off well without seeming like you're trying very hard. Great content, you've got a new subscriber :]

18:47 True. I'm from Peru, and my parents once thought that I was about to be abducted by the mukis/duendes since they found me under my cradle. There was a tree nearby, which supposedly was their home, so my relatives removed it in the following days. There is also my maternal grandparents house, were the creatures supposedly live under the house, and play pranks to my uncle. He sometimes wips the walls with his belt to scare them off. And my mother once told me that, when she was in primary school, they moved in that house even tho it was still being built. The thing is she could feel their presence at night, and rarely see their shadows, but that was all: they didn't bother her at all. Both houses were built in areas that used to be plantations, so yeah, kinda "makes sense". Crazy stuff...

Nice video. Surprised though that the Red Cap discussion did not include the red caps of Ireland, the "far darrig" (pronunciation). "A far darrig or fear dearg is a faerie of Irish mythology. The name far darrig is an Anglophone pronunciation of the Irish words fear dearg, meaning Red Man, as the far darrig is said to wear a red coat and cap. "

[@chrisberatis2612]

Can you please do a video on Ogres?

[@TheTokyoTiff]

I want to add Kijimuna goblin to this list. A red-haired goblin of the banyan tree native to Okinawa (where native people are black or brown-haired Asian). I heard a lot of fisherman's tales of them in Okinawa, but mostly just sightings. `I saw one and ran` kind of tales. There are many cautionary fables of people befriending them and eventually getting betrayed. There were a lot of old banyan trees that no one would trim because they were said to be infested with Kijimuna, and if you cut a branch it would come to your house at night and cut you in your sleep.

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! Thanks so much for sharing all your wisdom!! Every time I need to research, I check your channel first!! Have a great day!!😊

[@keyshyia1598]

I would like to see a video about the Phoenix, it’s my favorite bird. I love the idea they can never die. Almost like goblins the Phoenix legend continues on just as much as any other mythical creatures. Another creature I find fascinating is the Huldra because there is so little about her. I watch these shows all the time because they remind of my late mother telling me stories as a child.

Goblins ugly? Haven't you heard the song? "See the little goblin. See his little feet. See his little nosy wosy. Isn't the goblin sweet."

[@Amanda-cd6dm]

Do they maybe run really fast across your roof in a horribly scary fashion and climb down the side of the house, sneak in thru the window where the airconditioner is somehow then bite you on the inside of your inside upper thigh? While you are asleep? And you have bruise teeth marks that take 3 weeks to go away? Does this creature, it isn't an animal, try to have his way with you? Is that the type of goblin you mean

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wangliang Wangliang (魍魎 or 罔两) is the name of a malevolent spirit in Chinese mythology and folklore. This word inclusively means "demons; monsters; specters; goblins; ghosts; devils" in Modern Standard Chinese, but wangliang originally meant a specific demon. Interpretations include a wilderness spirit like the kui 夔 "one-legged mountain demon", a water spirit like the long 龍 "dragon", a fever demon like the yu 魊 "poisonous 3-legged turtle that causes malaria", a graveyard ghost also called wangxiang 罔象 or fangliang 方良 "earth demon that eats the livers or brains of corpses", and a man-eating "demon that resembles a 3-year-old brown child with red eyes, long ears, and beautiful hair".
