Goblin - Modern Horizons 2 Tokens

A goblin is a diminutive, grotesque, and often malevolent humanoid creature prominent in European folklore, typically characterized by its mischievous or demonic nature, small stature, furry or leathery appearance, and ability to shapeshift. Goblins are believed to dwell in subterranean areas or households, where they engage in acts ranging from pranks to murder. Their etymology derives from Old French gobelin, possibly linked to Medieval Latin gobelinus or Greek kobalos, though some scholars trace it to earlier domestic protector spirits like the Germanic kobold, which were later demonized under Christian influence.
