- Goblins have many faces in the modern time period; the fairy tricksters, the cannon fodder for your beginning adventurers, the helpful tinkerers, or the UA-camr Daniel Greene.
I hope you enjoy the second video in what I hope to be a series of the Origins of Fantasy Creatures.
If you want to check out the books I talk about in the video, they are:
The Princess and the Goblin by George Mcdonald
The Father Christmas Letters by J. R. R. Tolkien.

Goblin history go crazy
In Tolkien, the Orcs were descended from Elves that had been corrupted by Morgoth (the Master of Sauron).
Of course! I decided to go into more detail about that stuff when I make a video about orcs!
From Middle English gobelyn, from Old Northern French gobelin (compare Norman goubelin, Walloon gobelin), possibly a blend of Old Dutch *kobeholdo (“goblin”) (compare Dutch kabouter, German Kobold) and Late Latin cobalus (“mountain sprite”), from Ancient Greek κόβαλος (kóbalos, “rogue, knave; goblin”). Displaced native Old English pūca from Proto-Germanic *pūkô (“a goblin, spook”).
No matter wich king of goblins they are Orcbolg will slay them.
Can you do a video on ogres?
I can try. I’ve been wanting to make some other history of videos and have been looking for topics with an interesting history. I’ll look into it.
Santa clause doesn't exist in the UK it's still father Christmas
Figured that, but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to say something for certain if I didn't know. Thanks!
