    I know this video is a week late but honestly it's not my fault... a goblin ate my script, that is the totally believable and 100% legit excuse I'm going with. Also no goblins were harmed in the making of this video.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    The other was a paranoid trap maker who had a Ballista mounted on his wagon and would get pissed off when the enemy didn't do what he planned. Thats actually why he got the Ballista, he needed a more direct solution.

      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.

    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.

There are images of them supposedly in some Ancient Egyptian art, archeologists just calling them dwarves. It’s all speculative, of course, because we are talking ancient mythologies, & then trying to apply those folklore stories to what we know exist in modern times. (Incidentally, there are stories of Native Americans that include both tribes of giants, but lesser known also tribes of little people.

    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.

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.

      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.

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.
