Goblins are legendary creatures that have appeared in fairy tales and folklore from different cultures for centuries. They share many traits with gnomes and elves, most notably their small stature, pointed ears and their natural inclination towards magic. The nature of goblins seems to vary with every source, but they are most often described as being mischievous fey creatures or even spirits that play mean pranks on humans and like to steal money and treasure from them.
