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.

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.

Actually! I just did the research! I've been researching the Wendat natives previously from my area of the Great Lakes, and their story of the young giant Kitchekawana and his father Manitou. A giant from Niagra Falls slayed a snake that was making local tribes sick. He lured it to the mouth of the falls and cut off its head, but its body blocked the river and caused a great buildup of water, which collapsed the giants large cavern home that existed underneath the falls, creating the current "U" shape in the falls. In the end the giant was successful, but lost his home.

You know what the crazy thing is? I was lead to this by observing land formations in Northern Canada that appear as if the were carved out by a massive massive giant huge slithering thing. And then I found massive giant human footprints in Nunavut. To the left of Nanisivik. Then I found them everywhere across the globe. We were looking too small. Some of these giants were over 2km tall, as ludicrous as that sounds to us little people. They weren't from here. There is a lineage of giants that can be traced back to a giant of the stars Uranus/Oranus and a female earth giant Gaia from my research.

Just saw this - thank you and great job with it! I'd been looking for something on goblins, piecing together various sources... and this had a lot of useful material! I'm curious, where is the elf / fae one mentioned in the Fomorian video? I see the Cerununnos one, and Fomorians, and you mentioned Puck here (whom Shakespear kinda placed in the fae court).. but I'd love to see the one (or more about) the fae across cultures - Tuatha De Danaan / Tylwyth Teg, Ljósálfar, and especially other cultures where equivalent and similar beings might be? (leaving aside popular re-imaginings of course)

I don't know if it's just the influence of D&D, but now thinking about it, but Rumpelstiltskin isn't your common fey creature, he's capable of turning straw into golden thread permanently. and its implied that deals unfulfilled with him can have very bad consequences. I'd say he's more akin to an archfey.
@Xenophage1005 жыл бұрын
Maybe some kind of genie or even a minor god (Garl Glittergold springs instantly to mind)... either that or he's a high-level gnome transmutation wizard with a fetish for babies. Archfey is a good bet, though. Ol' Rumplestiltskin ticks all the Archfey boxes... except the ugliness. Most Archfey are SUPER vain and choose nothing but the most beautiful of forms when they change shape. This is not to say that a particularly clever or deceitful (or humble lol fat chance) Archfey wouldn't take on the form of a wizened gnome or goblin.

It has illustrations by Brian Fraud, the guy who designed those goblins for the movie. He has other books about fae lore too, his illustrations are truly amazing.

Goblin and kobold comes from the protoindoeuropean ku-. A cave shared by the linguistic ancestors of japanese and indonesians. Searching for geographic words carrying the ku- markers, they resided between desert and world-jungle, alps and canyons. Basically Indus valley.

In Dungeons and Dragons, Orcs, Trolls, and Goblins are actually unrelated. Trolls are related to Ogres and Giants, Orcs are related to Elves and Humans, and Goblins are related to Hobgoblins and Bugbears. In the works of Tolkien, there is basically no difference between Orcs and Goblins (the few differences having been explained in the video) while Trolls were magically created living weapons (like the Dragons and Balrogs) from when all the Elves and weird demigods were fighting with each other over who sung the wrong notes in the song that made the world. In folklore, Trolls and Goblins are also unrelated, with Trolls being mainly large solitary predators while Goblins tended to be more social and "civilized" sometimes even living in human dwellings and towns and co-operating with the locals (always in secret). Goblins were also considered faeries and related to Elves while trolls were not as far as I know. Trolls are from Norse mythology whereas the mythological origins of Goblins are a little more unclear (probably Greece though). I'm not sure if Orcs existed in folklore or if Tolkien made them up. In World of Warcraft, Goblins and Trolls are related to each other while Orcs come from another planet entirely although they now all co-exist and co-operate in a single society. I hope that helps.

Trolls can regenerate missing limbs, so fire is the best way to end their life, or sunlight turns them to stone. The other two don't regenerate. Goblins are original creatures and small, Orcs are a hybrid of Goblins and Elves or Humans. If you mate an Orc and a full Human or Elf you get a Half-Orc.

I see that you used the image of goblin chainwhirler from Magic the gathering, which reminds me how well they are represented on that card game including the feel of hastiness, dumbness and self sacrifice in order to do a burning effect towards the opponent. Magic the gathering represents many mythological creatures really well including their essential nature as portrayed on the myths from which they come from.

Of all goblins in pop culture the goblin hordes of the magic the gathering multiverse is among my favorites. 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.
