The word Goblin originated from Anglo-French gobelin and Medieval Latin gobelinus, who was the devil haunting the cities of Normandy before 1141

[@hansmustermann5371]

The word/meaning Goblin is also known in russian Folklore, You should read Russian Hominology.

My pleasure Neil! Keep on making stuff and telling awesome stories.

[@80Sleepless]

A "dobby" is, in Lancanshire and Yorkshire folklore, a term for a hobgoblin that has a strong prankster mindset, but can also be very industrious and help with chores around the house. The expression "Master Dobbs has helped you" was used to indicate that someone has accomplished a greater amount of work than expected (with the extra coming from the dobby).

[@nofillet4148]

Goblin steal socks, because in some goblin regions socks are used as curency. The more well loved the stolen sock was, the more it's worth

Everything about this video speaks to me. Hazels story, the crafting, knarbs voice, that free asmr in the middle, all of it. the YSAC reference was *Chefs kiss* Great job Knarb. Tall Goblins are so tall they can get the shiny things on the top shelves

[@Bluecho4]

That's why Hobgoblins are among the most powerful in goblinoid society. (Technically, Bugbears are even taller, but are also lazier).

I got a lot of vibes litsening to this and YSAC and then he hits us with the Pepper, pepper, pepper

I have a goblin named Boba! She was seperated from her troupe when they accidentally awakened an ancient white dragon. She's a wild magic sorceress and she has a twin brother named Bongo who's an alchemist :)

Boba sounds like one adventurous goblin! I bet Bongo's potions add a whole new level of excitement.

@@KnarbMakes Although not a perfect analogue, some versions of the Patupaiarehe legend among the Maori are quite similar to goblins.

I housed a little trash goblin from Lithuania before the pandemic hit. One time she dropped her entire dinner on the floor while she was heading to her room, but scooped it up and ate it anyways. She loves Hatsune Miku and has since moved back to my country, so I hope I can visit her again soon. She was a lovely housemate. ^^ Bonus fact, she got her internship at the game company where my partner works by submitting a self-portrait in all her goblin glory.

[@TheNicloHD]

Beautiful build. Love the way you jsut go with your gut and mix an match whatever material or construction method works for you vision. Also a huge fan ob the humor between the commentary and the subtitles. A little known fact is that the only thing seperating the common golbin from the hobgolbin is actually their ability to do more than 500 robe skips in succession. It is said the sound they make while rope skipping is the origin of the prefix "Hob".

[@ippaxy]

In LOTR, “Goblin” is just another word for “Orc”. Somewhere along the line, goblins became their own creature category and the rest is history!

[@PKTCrafts]

Best goblin fact hands down, while kobolds argue over whether moss be organized by taste or color, goblins have long known the best method is to sort it by its scent.

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

I grew up with a healthy respect for goblins and their tricks. I was always told that missing socks were the result of our dryer goblin. And for many years we lived in peace he and my family. I eventually moved out and life moved on. Now I have a dryer of my own and kids that are constantly losing socks. No matter the color, size, or condition there's always one lost. Now curious minds are beginning to notice and ask about said missing socks.........may the legend live on!!!

[@MLiskindagay]

This was really relaxing to watch and the house is really good, and Hazel’s story has given me inspiration for lore on kinds of goblins in my fantasy setting. Goblin fact: goblins are better than kobolds. Better goblin fact: kobold is the German word for goblin.

[@alexmorton5867]

Favorite Goblin Fact: Hayao Miyazaki once described the Totoros as goblins. He says they have an "easygoing, carefree” attitude, they don’t try to frighten people, and they're more like animals than spirits or something mystical. I think it's very interesting to see how fantasy creatures get interpreted differently by various cultures around the world.

[@bradcraig6676]

Sweet build! Did you know the term "hobgoblin" was mentioned in Tolkien's published fiction only once? Gandalf referred to them in The Hobbit. In a later preface, JRRT alludes to hobgoblins being a "larger kind" of goblin, and then even later mentions in a letter that originally hobgoblins were smaller, not larger, than their goblin cousins. Fascinating stuff, you'll agree.

[@forpion]

In folklore and mythology, goblins are often depicted as mischievous or malevolent creatures that can cause trouble for humans. However, the exact depiction of goblins varies depending on the cultural context. In some traditions, goblins are described as ugly and deformed, while in others they are portrayed as tiny, impish beings with a knack for trickery. In medieval Europe, goblins were often associated with mines and caves, and were said to be the spirits of the miners who had died while working there. They were believed to cause accidents and misfortune to those who entered the mines. Another interesting fact is that the word "goblin" is thought to have originated from the Old French word "gobelin," which referred to a mischievous household spirit. This word is thought to have ultimately come from the Greek word "kobalos," which means "rogue" or "rascal." Love your channel and the video! Keep it good sir :)

[@singingReaper]

I have a goblin named Nettle Rainweaver that I enjoy playing in my ttrpg She’s a descendant of an extremely rich and powerful merchant family, but willfully avoids her families lavish life, much more enjoying the chaos of her adventures (and explosives) using her alchemical knowledge to get in all kinds of shenanigans. While she may not live in a nice quaint cottage like this by choice, it would look perfect as one of her families many estates in the country side (that she would definitely take advantage of them never using to lay low when her explosives piss off the wrong people 😅) Great build over all, and a very calming video to watch as I recover from needing some stitches recently keeping me from crafting myself

[@lorikeeland4238]

I’m playing my first goblins in a pathfinder one shot this week and I’m so pumped. Bovuz the swashbuckler and Gornk the inventor. Two goblin siblings that grew up in a junkyard. Bovuz is terrified of horses and Gornk doesn’t think they exist. Most of the party is playing goblins so we are the goblin gang!!!

[@primmadonnagirls]

goblin fact: I'm in your walls. jk! but goblins might be - or at least, their pickles might be. Goblins are famous for their pickling and fermentation of food, and store them in cracks in the walls to keep them cold. Besides, putting them in the walls means there's more room for cool things in the cabinets and on the floor! Thanks for making such cool videos. Love ya, Knarb.

[@KnarbMakes]

We all need other things in our walls other than insulation!

[@charlieshek3465]

I’m writing a TV show as a hobby, and in it the Goblins steal people’s clothes at night (just like in the folklore), but they collect the pheromones off the clothes and use them in knock out gas, which is then put into their little wrinky-dink bombs and used for combat when necessary.

[@benweinberg3819]

My favorite goblin fact is that they make the best pickles! It's hard to store food in dank caves in the cold months so they have to get creative with their turnips. (Don't mind me, just trying to sus out if Baron actually WAS a flock dealer in a previous lineage...)

[@joshuachinchak1580]

My favorite D&D character was a goblin, her name was Gnarrb much like hazel she lived in a tight household. She couldn't wait to leave and become an adventurer. Life is hard for a goblin always being looked down on by the bigger folk, so goblins make do. She wanted to prove all the big folk wrong, and she did she slayed dragons and befriended sea monsters, and came home a hero. The fact in this story is also it's moral, no matter how small you are or long your ears you can change the world.

[@Corundum_Rolls]

Great video as usual. If, or when, you get a goblin to take a bath the pastime they participate in to make the bathing bearable is farting in the tub and trying to bite the bubbles.

I've been raised by Northern hobgoblins. Its something that's not easy to talk about seeing people always think goblins are bad. But I had a great childhood, swiping hooman babies and replacing them with changelings , waiting for our bread to be just ripe enough. Scaring kids by hiding under their beds. Good times ..good times

[@tomconroy2506]

I like the Wychwood Brewery brews and have a number of their t-shirts which feature heavily their hobgoblin logo my seen year old grandson feels that their needs to be a backstory to every goblin on the t-shirts and that he needs to know what the goblins have been up to. There is an apparently naught goblin who tied up Santa and stole all the presents. I think the grandson is probably a future RPG gamer. Great build by the way.

[@eamonwinkelman7608]

Love these videos, so easy to just relax and watch. In my D&D world, goblins descended from orcs after a tribe got forced into the plains following a war. There they had to adapt to be more nimble and hard to spot.

I love Hazels cottage, however temporary her residence there may have been.

Fun goblinoid fact: the Nilbog is hardest to kill of all D&D goblinoids (honestly, google the stat block)...Nilbog is obviously Goblin spelt backwards, which is actually pretty cool, like how cool does "Namuh" sound? Aaanyway, awesome work dude & Neil for the kit too! Keep up the top content 👌👏

[@Bluecho4]

I don't need the cottage, but I will give a goblin fact anyway. Goblins love Crab Apples the way other folk love regular apples. The sour flavor is more to their taste. As crab apple trees are necessary for the pollination of regular apple trees (look it up, this is a real fact), many orchard keepers are more tolerant of goblins sneaking onto their orchards to take crab apples. Some goblins even keep their own orchards, if they have the coin for the land, though they sell all the sickly sweet regular apples (or "toothrot apples" as the goblins call them). If you pick a goblin's pocket, they're liable to have a few crab apples or crab apple byproducts.

[@daelnelbel]

Not sure if I’m too late or not, but I do love my Gobbo Facts: In pathfinder 1e, there’s a feat that lets goblin barbarians rage for free if they see someone reading from a book! In an old campaign of mine I also had a tribe of goblins that had a naming convention: you get named after the first thing they refuse to eat (typically because they’re too full to eat anything more, lol)

[@KnarbMakes]

That sounds really fun! Love that naming tribe tradition. And no you're not too late, I'm going to pick someone closer to my next full video release, so it gives people plenty of time to put their name in the hat. Cheers!

[@davidsickles4510]

I absolutely love this! I love the story built around it and I love the outcome too! I will give you two goblin facts, one being related to our world and one related to my little gobbos. 1st, most cultures around the world have a creature that is similar to a goblin from old European folklore however in most stories, they are connected to homes and are more like a house spirit than an angry little green man who is planning to attack you for your valuables. 2nd, if you give a Goblin a magic-imbued piece of stone they will absorb its magic and their skin will change colour? That is where all my goblin friends get their name, The Blue Moon Clan.

According to prophecy, the wild and unchecked growth of turnips will one day cover all of the world's surface and lead to the extinction of all other lifeforms. Fortunately, it is through the valiant efforts of goblinoids like Hazel and her family that the tide of the turnip apocalypse is held back each day. Thank you Hazel for everything you and your kin do to keep all of us safe!

[@Heroes_of_Qalanor_RPG]

Goblins have an affinity for rats and wolves, raising them to serve as companions and mounts, respectively. Like rats, goblins shun sunlight and sleep underground during the day. Like wolves, they are pack hunters, made bolder by their numbers. When they hunt from the backs of wolves, goblins use hit-and-run attacks.

[@KnarbMakes]

Goblins riding wolves while hunting with rat companions? Talk about a unique pack! I wonder what other creatures they take care of.

[@kyletomey1094]

Hobgoblins skin is green because they've naturally adapted to the color of their molded bread they consume around the warm morning fire with a cup of goat milk and bat wings!

[@AlynneTheFlorifant]

The reason goblins all have interesting noses is because when they go through puberty at age 6 they get to pick a style and the nose goobers either knuckle dust their face in or using the special elongenatorator to help the younglings get that beautiful hook.

Everyone likes DryBrushing! :D We (As in Me, my Wife and our Grandaughters when they visit) belive that our house has House Goblins and House Trolls, They live in the walls and in Troll/Goblin Space (it's quantum lol) they move things and "Borrow" things when they need them, sometimes they even give them back to the Humans who share the house with them.

Since my DM won't be posting I'll post on her behalf (and offer it to her first in the event it wins). May I introduce you to the Goblin Metal Band 'SPLAT!' Introduces as the main act at an inter-goblin clan meet; the band was heavily percussion based. The use of war drums and striking helmets with clubs intertwined with the pro-greenskin lyrics shouted be the female lead singer until the performance climaxed with human/elf/dwarf and/or halfling 'performers' dropped onto the stage from a sufficient height to make a 'splat' sound.

Goblins are not always evil in fantasy. Several settings, such as Eberron, have whole goblin empires where goblins live out their lives safe from maraudering murder-hobos.

In the north east of the USA goblins have a symbiotic relationship with coyotes, and have been spreading into suburbs as the turkey and deer populations have grown. They have ruckus parties most nights and can be heard yelling at each other. #GoblinFacts

Who knew goblins could be such good party animals? Sounds like the suburbs are never dull with these critters around.

[@randifelix]

Fun fact, my first DnD character I ever created was a goblin named Mortimer. He lived with a clan of Goblins that got along with animals which is why Mortimer is always seen with 2 badgers. Even more facts, I had to make a DnD character sheet and since I didn't have the goblin race I had to pick something else and played an Aarakocra purely bc it was the first race in the list bc of alphabetical order.

Favorite turnip recipe I know that turnips used to be carved instead of pumpkins. I actually usually forget they exist for food. For a goblin fun fact, goblin green was liked by mostly males versus females on a color chart I saw. I think that was made before multiple genders was more widely accepted though

[@Krak8lin]

fun fact abput gobblins, they see the world only in shades of green, yet the word green dosen't exists in their vocabulary. that can lead to confusing discussions. likewise, the word they use for the hue of green that is white is "arrrrgggghhh!". So you get characters like "The Giant" who sells peas and corn, and Gandalf the Arrrgggghhh!

[@KnarbMakes]

Interesting. Wonder what the names of other hues would be....

[@daveyiam]

Cool vid! Probably too late for my goblin trivia but... goblin lore has it that they are tricksters that like to hide human possessions. Soooo, the next time you "lose" a sock in your washing machine, check in with Hazel and her cousins. I'm pretty sure they've plundered your hosiery ;)

[@beverleybee1309]

All right. In my world, goblins have a fondness for "death mazes". They consider them to be akin to amusement parks. They'll compete with each other to be the first one in, and then when they emerge out of it later; brag about how strong and skilled they are to escape the maze. 😉 They're adorable.

A happy goblin home from which the smells of various types of "greens" emanate. It is a fact that the different colors of goblins enjoy different kinds of "greens". Green goblins love turnip, orange goblins go for mustard, and red goblins eat collards.

[@apeman505]

I read a long time ago that the word "Goblin" comes from an old story about the wicked Gnome King of some mountain whose name was Gob, and all his children were called "Goblings." I can't find a reference to that story anymore, though.

[@apeman505]

While searching for that source on the gnome king (whose name was spelled "Ghob," apparently), I found a ton of information on where goblins originated. The true answer is likely lost to antiquity, and possibly originated in many different locations around the globe (nearly EVERY culture has their version of a goblin in it, including Japan and certain African countries), but the word goblin probably came from "Kobalos," or "Kobold," whose roots come from "gob," meaning a crevice or crack in a sea cliff and probably referred to some imagined creature dwelling therein. There are tons of mythical little people, spirits, sprites, or fairies that the word "goblin" can be used to describe, many of them could be considered helpful (hobgoblins, in particular!) but most considered mischievous or malevolent, so truly the word is a moving target, and what a goblin "is" cannot be discretely defined. Personally, I like how the word "goblin" is extremely evocative--I just imagine some dingy little humanoid living in a cave, who is vaguely resentful of the humans living nearby and so resorts to playing pranks on them because he/she is incapable of doing any actual harm.
