THE GOBLIN AUTHORITY Goblins are one of fantasy’s favorite creatures. They serve as a small, potentially humorous parallel to larger ‘green’ races such as Orcs, Ogres and Bugbears. But, like most fantasy creatures, they’ve become a bit stale. They’ve fallen out of use, being replaced by Kobolds, Imps and such like. While I enjoy this variation, I think it’s a shame that we’ve lost track of what Goblins are meant to be. So let’s go all the way back to the roots. LITTLE GOBLIN ORIGINS Like most of our popular fantasy creatures, goblins originated with a more fey and supernatural taint. They were creatures that lived on the verge of Midgard and Faerie, so to speak. Not gods or angels, but at the same time distinctly strange and mysterious. Some people saw Leprechauns, goblins and such as angels who couldn’t decide if they wanted to rebel with Lucifer or stick with God, so they got put on the earth and turned really small. Originating in Middle Age European folklore, it is not surprising that they were caught up in that Medieval confusion of popular myth and pagan legend with newer, less natural-to-the-community Christianity. While Medieval folks were very religious and scholarly about the Bible, they also loved their old paganism, and had a difficult time dismissing it altogether. Goblins, as well as many other _longaevi _and fairies, came from a desire to merge the strict Catholic division between angels and demons, God and Satan, with the older, more nuanced worldview of the gods and the lesser spirits below them (nymphs, fauns and such) as morally ambiguous yet ‘better’ than humans at some instinctivelevel.
Even when the gods are jerks and mess with humans and stuff, they’redivine
The word ‘goblin’ was originally the title of a specific demon which haunted in Normandy. The German ‘kobold’ may be a cousin word. At any rate, the name ultimately traces back (probably) to the Latin word ‘kobalos,’ meaning ‘knave, imp, rogue.’ Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report!

Goblins were all over the place, being mischievous and stealing gold. As always, the legend could fall either way- sometimes goblins were full on evil, sometimes they became helpful and wise little wrinkled fellows. From this latter variation came the Hobgoblin, the prefix ‘hob’ referring to the classic elfish eponym ‘robert’ or ‘robin,’ and in Robin Goodfellow (the famous ‘Puck’ who made appearance in Shakespeare’s _A Midsummer Night’s Dream_. These little Hobgoblins combined the features of the ugly goblins with the more elusive,magical elfs.
While still known for practical jokes, they became furry little men who did chores around the house, such as sweeping or ironing, in return for gifts of food (really just a Christianized version of Roman offerings to household gods). In this way they fell into the groove of Brownies, or the Norse tomte. Individual Hobgoblins included Dobby, who sat in a cave and cured children of the whooping cough and was a valuable worker, but also played such outrageous tricks that the family moved to a different house (he followed discreetly). There was also Billy Blind, who offers advise and wisdom to humans in need. Blue Burches was a Hobgoblin spirit who, in alternating forms of a wisp of blue smoke, a white horse, a black pig and an old guy with saggy pants, helped an old shoemaker.

On the other extreme of Goblinoid spectrum we have Redcaps, absolutely murderous spirits who lives in abandoned castles on the Anglo-Scottish border (like crossroads, borders are viewed as ‘between places’ where the fey realm can soak into our world), stabbing innocent people with a pikestaff and soaking their victims’ blood into their caps. A spirit with the same aesthetic as Redcaps (but polar opposite energy) is the Bluecap, a friendly spirit that lives in mines, leads miners to rich mineral deposits and warning them of cave-ins.GOBLINS IN FANTASY
Often considered a fore-runner of modern fantasy, George MacDonald’s _The Princess and the Goblins_ treats goblins as evil monsters who live underground. They are rather humanoid, with a few differences such as being invincible everywhere except their feet. Really, Goblins would probably have become nothing more than a malevolent version of dwarfs (I can see the Redcaps as Goblin spirits and the mine-associated Bluecaps as dwarf spirits) if not for Tolkien. Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this ad Tolkien loved nothing more than to take mysterious little details from Medieval legend and explain them via his poetry and stories. One such detail is found in Beowulf, which mentions in a list of spirits (along with Nephilim) ‘_eotenas ond ylfe ond ORCNEAS_.’ While elfs and Ettins (a variant of Norse Jotnar, evil giant antagonists of the gods) are well known, ‘orcneas’ are a mystery. ‘Neas’ means ‘corpses,’ and ‘Orc’ may be derived from the Latin _Orcus, _god of the Underworld. In light of this connection, the Beowulf poet probably meant for _orcneas _to be seen as some kind of evil ghost or shade, possibly based on the Biblical Rephaim (apparently a confederation of evil kings held in special confinement in Sheol for having something to do with the whole ‘Nephilim and fallen gods’ deal). See possible instances in _Isa 14:9, 26:14

; Ps
88:10

Alternately, _orcneas _may have been seen as some kind of zombies, either servants of Underworld demons or brought up from the Underworld by necromancers. Early Modern fairy tales used ‘orke’ as a synonym for ‘ogre,’ interpreting both as large, humanoid creatures who may or may not eat you. The _Faerie Queene _mentions a monster called‘Orcus.’
Whatever the case, Tolkien used the word ‘orc’ in his early Elvish dictionaries as a word meaning ‘demon, monster, ogre,’ perfectly encapsulating the confusion between evil spirits and physical abominations but avoiding the undead connotations. Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this ad In his stories they became a specific race (though many elements about them were left mysterious), and he used ‘goblin’ as an English ‘translation’ (of his fictional languages) for the smaller orcs, calling the larger ones ‘hobgoblins.’ But later fantasy ignored this, treating goblins as distinct from orcs, just as they ignored Tolkien’s description of orcs as being blackened as if burnt, preferring to make them green. So goblins were swept up into fantasy RPG as part of the ‘greenskins,’ roving hordes of monsters that chaotically destroy more civilized peoples and sometimes ride on wolves. Looks like three orcs intimidating a smaller, spindlier goblin. Goblins and Hobgoblins had gone from traditional household fairies to a non-supernatural race of warlike antagonists for random encounters with adventuring heroes. So you don’t need to come up with something completely new to make Goblins, Orcs and Hobgoblins unique. All you have to do is return totheir roots.
With Goblins, it might be interesting to see them return as tiny, if still mischievous or evil. It might also be cool to see more human goblins, like Dobby from _Harry Potter_ except restore him to his original status as Hobgoblin instead of making him a house elf. Alternately, goblins that are even less human, more fey and wierd. Personally, I’d like to see orcs put back into context as death-associated, slightly demonic underworld creatures. I want to see orcs as creepy, ancient and dark, not stupid and random. The sheer coolness of Beowulf’s orcneas is so lost to modern audiences because we see them through RPG and Tolkien, not in the light of Orcus and the immediate context of Nephilim, elfs and ettins. And what’s wrong with a friendly, wise little Hobgoblin? Why can’t there be a wholesome little guy who sweeps and cleans in exchange for a bit of food? Maybe Hobgoblins are a more civilized race of goblins, who abandoned their evil and chaotic heritage in exchange for the peace and quiet of the cottage hearth. Hello, travelers! Welcome to my humble abode. Please, hang up your hats, wipe your shoes, make yourselves at home! I feel like so much fantasy could be made so much more interesting if the writers just knew mythology and folklore, instead of relying on modern sources and games for reference and inspiration.

Comments on List of Mythical Creatures page 27SANTA CLAUS
Merry Christmas!
Well everybody, since last year I compiled an epic list of Christmas-related mythical creatures,
I figured this year I’d focus on good old Santa Claus. What the heck is he, anyway?SAINT NICHOLAS
A very kind early-Christian bishop, Saint Nicholas, is famous for giving money to poor families by secretly throwing the sacks of gold through their windows at night. As time went on, other stories became attributed to him such as calming a storm at sea, saving innocent prisoners from death, punching heretics at the Council of Nicaea, and resurrecting three children who had been killed and sold as ham during a famine. Over time, Saint Nick became combined with another figure… Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this adFATHER CHRISTMAS
Celebrations of ‘Yule’ in Germanic Cultures have been around since ancient times. After all, in all that cold and grey there is a basic need for some feasting and fire. The Aesir (Thor, Loki, etc.) were associated with the event, particularly Odin. According to tradition, the first toast of Yuletide was drunk to him, the second to Njord and Frey, and the third to the king. Strangely, Yuletide was also associated with the activity of ghosts and wandering Draugr. Today we have Halloween for that.YULE TOMTE
Tomte (also from Norse Folklore) are little troll-like creatures that can be either a help or a hassle for a Scandinavian home. They wear pointy red hats (like garden gnomes) and are particularly associated with Christmas. They ride around with the Yule Goat, leaving presents on doorsteps or even bringing them directly to the children. Over time, the Yule Tomte became one character, who gradually became more like Santa- though there are differences. Instead of living at the North Pole, he lives in a local forest, or perhaps in Greenland. He is not overweight, and his carriage is pulled by goats. His helpers are the traditional farm Tomte. Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this adTHE OUTFIT
After the Odin/ Saint Nick/ Father Christmas character was born, the legend began to grow. And his uniform changed as well. First came ‘Green Santa’. Introduced into American culture in the 1700’s. Unlike the traditional bishop image, this Santa was a fat man wearing a green winter coat. Because he was a legend brought over by Dutch immigrants, he became a stereotype of New York Dutch subculture- smoking a pipe, sometimes wearing a sailor uniform. Other images simply showed him as a jolly man who gave presents instockings.
The Dutch _Sinterclass_ became Santa Claus. There is lots more I would like to say- about my green brother and my father, old Grandfather Yule, and why we were both called Nicholas after the saint (whose day is December sixth) who used to give secret presents, sometimes throwing purses of money through the window. -Letters from Father Christmas, by J.R.R. Tolkien Though the green coat didn’t stick, it paved the way for depictions of Santa to exchange his bishop apparel for more generic winter clothes, though still a red coat. Probably the most recognizable part of the Santa Suit is the hat. Most don’t know that Santa’s headwear is actually a nightcap. But the hat wasn’t always around. See this image from _Old Santeclaus with Much Delight:_ A fur cap, and a _brown_ beard! Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this ad Also note the reindeer. Traditionally, Saint Nick rode around on a white horse. Odin rode on his eight-legged steed, Sleipnir. In all likelihood, the eight-legged horse was just too weird, and the white stallion was a bit over-the-top-noble for the newly emerging ‘fat elf’ Santa. So where did the reindeer come from? _Old Santeclaus with Much Delight_ is the first source to mention them. When asked, the anonymous writer described magical animals resembling reindeer, which lived near the North Pole and were known to be able to fly. He said his mother had witnessed these. Once the tale entered the public imagination, the reindeer’s number expanded from one to eight, thanks to our next influential source. Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this adNOT EVEN A MOUSE
_‘Twas the Night Before Christmas_, yet another anonymous short story, solidified the image of Santa. He was small, a ‘jolly old elf’ in fact. He rode in a ‘miniature sleigh’, pulled by ‘eight tiny reindeer’. In the first edition illustrations of the poem, Santa wears a fur cap and pretty much normal (for that time) clothes. Later editions show him with a long coat, very Saint Nicholas like. In 1958, the year of the ’58 Chevy, Santa was bald and wore no hat. The sixties brought in orange and green Santa Clothes, and a pinksleigh.
Back to the poem itself. Referred to throughout the poem as St. Nick or Saint Nicholas, this iteration of Santa brought in the mode of entry (through the chimney, of course) and the names of the Reindeer. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Dunder, Blixem. Later, Dunder and Blixem were replaced by Donner and Blitzen. And we haven’t even reached the most famous reindeer of all… Rudolph was one attempt at building the legend that succeeded madly, to the point that for many people, the Red-Nosed Reindeer is the onlyone they can name!

Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this ad ELVES AND THE NORTH POLE As seen above, Santa Claus was sometimes considered an elf. In some depictions from the early twentieth century, he made all the toys himself. But then, workers from the Salvation Army began dressing up as Santa, and Coca Cola commercials started using him for advertising. These commercials, and popular fiction _The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus_ by L. Frank Baum, ended the idea of Santa being an elf. But what about those other elves? Nobody knows the precise origin of the elves. It probably has something to do with the Yule Tomte from Scandinavian mythology. The first literature to describe them was _Christmas Elves_, by Louisa May Alcott. After that, the American magazine _Godey’s Lady’s Book _depicted elves at work preparing for Christmas. They have continued that role ever since. Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this adTHOMAS NAST
Thomas Nast was a cartoonist, whose drawings of Santa Claus added all sorts of stuff to the legend. Before Nast, Santa was generally assumed to live somewhere in Europe. Dwelling at the North Pole made him even more iconically Wintry, and also made Snowmen a permanent part of his entourage. Santa at the North Pole The Naughty and Nice list was also important. When Odin (father yule) wanted to know what was happening down in the lower worlds, he would send his two ravens to spy. They would sit and the chimney of houses and report back to Odin about which people were being good, and whichbad.
Saint Nick would always have a sort of evil alter ego, for instance Krampus or Black Pete. They would punish bad children (in extreme cases whipping them or carrying them to Spain for punishment, in later days just giving them coal). They were the accusers. Anyway, there was always an idea of Santa Claus distinguishing between bad and good. Today, thanks to Tom Nast, it takes the form of the naughty and nice list. The modern accusers are little demonic elves onthe shelves.

The King of Jingling, Kris Kringle, is one of the many epitaphs of Santa. But where did it come from? The Christkind (Christ-child) is traditionally the giver of gifts in places such as Australia, Switzerland, and Quebec. He is sort of a Baby Jesus archetype, though many others consider him an angel. He (or in some cases she) flies around with St. Nicholas and deliverspresents.
Martin Luther tried to make it the Protestant Christmas tradition, during the reformation. He hoped it would bring attention back to the true meaning of Christmas. The Christkind was Americanized as Kris Kringle, and applied to Santa. Well, that’s it everybody! See you next time- on Imaginary CreatureAuthority!

Comments on Santa Claus LIST OF MYTHICAL CREATURES PAGE 26 This week, we have Ten Rare and Lesser Known Creatures from GreekMythology!
I’m sorry for the delay. WordPress did this stupid new update that made me have to start over twice, so I got really uninspired for abouta month.
Hi! I’m the Zebrabird! I approve of this post! (ImaginaryCreatureAuthority, Carver Means, nor any other affiliates of this blog claim ownership or creative rights of this image. It is used only because it is cool.)OPHIOTAURUS
Though lesser known, the Ophiotaurus was one of the original cosmic beings. It was born from primordial Chaos, along with Gaia and Ouranos. Ophiotaurus is half serpent and half bull. Audumbla’s husband?STYMPHALIAN BIRDS
These birds can shoot their feathers like bullets and kill their prey! Also, their dung is poisonous. So don’t eat it! They initially belonged to the goddess Artemis, but when she moved into a swamp some got loose and soon spread all over the countryside, shooting their bronze, armor-piercing feathers at the locals. These ferocious avians still inhabit swamps today, but luckily have morenatural predators.
Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this adTARAXIPPUS
Like many mythical creatures (leprechauns for instance), the taraxippoi were sometimes considered a type of ghost. This is because, in the classical cultures of the Italian Peninsula, it was a tradition to have the tombs of great heroes be the turning point of a race track. These taraxippoi would inhabit certain places and scare horses, causing them to run away. Sometimes it would be a flashing light, sometimes just a malevolent presence. These ‘presences’ were also associated with the god Neptune.AETERNAE
Alexander the Great supposedly was attacked, while traveling through India (classically regarded as a land of mystery and strangeness), by a group of ferocious creatures with saw-toothed horns on the top of their heads, like land sawfish.CROCOTTA
A strange creature, bred by a lion and a hyena, that inhabited India and Ethiopia. It particularly hates dogs, and will lure them out of the house by imitating the voice of the owner. They also imitate human voices and call out to the master of the house. Its eyes change color, its shadow strikes any dog it falls on dumb, and it uses magic to cause anything it thrice looks on to become paralyzed. Besides luring humans and their dogs, they will also dig up corpses to get a meal, ripping them apart with their one huge tooth protruding directly from their skull with no gum. Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this ad The crocotta was said elsewhere to be the same as a hyena (ancient historians often used known animals to describe unknown creatures- i.e. the body of a horse and the horn of a goat. Later people misinterpreted these and that is where many of our legends come from), but I shall stick with the accounts identifying it as a separate thing. Another very similar creature is the leucrocotta.TELCHINES
These dog-headed creatures with flippers for hands once inhabited the island of Rhodes. They fashioned the Trident of Poseidon and theScythe of Cronus.
DACTYLS
Little finger-people created from the fingers of the Titaness Rhea. They were skilled in math, metalworking, and magic, the last perfected especially by the evil sorcerer Epimedes. Three of them were dancing warriors known as the Korybantes, who served the goddess Cybele. One of them, a forger named Celmis, was a childhood friend of Zeus back in the Golden Age, and five of the original ten were the founders of theOlympic Games!

In the far north lived the one-eyed Arimaspians, beyond them the gold-guarding Griffins. But even farther north live the Hyperboreans, whose country lies beyond the north wind. The Hyperboreans were giant, ten feet tall, because they were sons of Boreas, the god of the NorthWind.
And one more, not technically an entire species but a lesser knowncharacter.
ORTHRUS
This _two_ headed dog guarded the cattle of Geryon the giant. Powered by wordads.co Thank you for submitting the report! Seen ad many times Not relevant Offensive Covers content Broken Report this ad Orthrus was the son of Typhon and Echidna, and his siblings included such monsters and the Chimera, the Sphinx, the Nemean Lion, the Lernean Hydra, the Liver-Eating Eagle, the serpent Ladon, the Crommyonian Sow, Gorgon (mother of Medusa and her two sisters), the Colchian Dragon, Scylla, the Harpies, several Sea Monsters, at least one snake footed giant, and of course the three-headed Cerebus. Orthrus was killed by Heracles (his own stepfather, in some myths), and it can be assumed he now lives in Hades with his bro. On the side, I would just like to point out that despite the Disney cartoons Hades is not presented as an entirely bad guy. At least not all the time. The bad things he does don’t actually seem that bad in comparison to some of what Zeus and even Poseidon do, yet both of them are treated as good guys almost with exception. Hades was not a particularly horrible place either. Elysium was there for heroes and great kings, the Asphodel Meadows for indifferent people, and the Mourning Fields for people who have wasted their liveson unrequited love.
Tartarus (the land reserved for the wicked and the titans and such) was technically a separate place, said to be as far below the underworld as the earth is below the sky. Well, that’s it! I leave you with this- Posted on December 5, 2018December 5, 2018Author

Comment on Happy Halloween! LIST OF MYTHICAL CREATURES PAGE 25POTAMOI
Most of us are familiar with the standard classical mythology creatures- satyrs, centaurs, nymphs, cyclopes, chimeras- but there are also quite a few lesser known creatures that deserve more appreciation. The next post shall deal mainly with those, but for a little free sample I present the Potamoi. Brothers of the Oceanids (which were later absorbed into the concept of Mermaids), the Potamoi are exactly like mermaids but for their bull head. They are the river and stream gods. And plus, a mer-cow is justcool amiright?
“Mer-cow? Hmmph! We did it first.”WOKOLO
Evil, short little men who walk around at night and capture children. They also steal stuff.NDILE

A creature that literally has eyes on the back of its head, as well as an entire hyena face. To disguise this they wear their hair either as in long braids or all puffed up as an afro.NKANYAMBA
A demonic pool-dwelling serpent, twisting and furious, that emerges from the depths only to find food.NUNDU
Looks like a normal leopard, but when it prepares to eat its mouth open huger and huger and sucks you in.RAKSASA
There are two races of raksasa, the blue and the green. They have long teeth, dirty hair, and vertical slits for eyes. Their fingers are backwards, and they walk around kidnapping children. They won’t, however, eat anybody who claims to be related to them. So that’snice at least.
Two
different kinds of Raksasa. The green one is a Buto Ijo and the bull-headed one is a Lembu Sura. Both like forests and mountains, though Buto Ijo will sometimes live among humans.KUMO
Though it pretends to be a futon, and looks strikingly like one when curled up, the Kumo is actually an impostor! When somebody sits on it the insectoid monster sticks out its furry legs, drags them down through a secret passage to its web, ties them up for later, and goes back to being a futon.XIANG SHI
A zombie from China that emerges from its grave at night and sucks the blood of the living.MANSUSOPSOP
A giant bat with a long pointed tongue that lowers into houses and sucks the blood of people. Have you noticed that at least forty percent of mythical creatures suck the blood of humans? Must be some deep psychological fear or something. Posted on October 18, 2018Author

The driver of the Death Carriage, the Ankou is a skeleton whose head revolves around looking for the people he is commanded to carry away. Only dying people see his cart pull up in the driveway or see him walk over while his horse gets a drink from your Koi Pond.NOCNITSA
Invisible shadow creatures that suck the blood of babies while theysleep.
VUKODLAK AND KRESNIK A type of zombie that is created when an evil person comes back to life. They are, like Nocnitsae, vampiric. When they drink enough blood they have the appearance of an empty skin ballooned to the size of an elephant. Their arch-enemies are the Kresnik, friendly spirits who guard homes from evil.SPUNKIE
Fairy Lights, Will O’ the Wisp, Elf Fires, whatever. This is just another name for the same thing.METS-HALDIJAS
Forest dwelling monsters, covered in moss for camouflage. They are two legged, no arms, and will stack on top of each other to look like boulders. In this way they confuse travelers into wandering from the trail. Then they jump out suddenly with a cry of “Bllllaaaaaarggggiiieee!” I don’t know why they like to do that so much, because after scaring the person they let them continue theirhike.
MORA
Basically poltergeists. Drive people crazy and cause messes.POLUDNITSA
Spirits that live in fields. They ask riddles to farmers and if you don’t know the answer you get eaten.ABIKU
Always hungry and thirsty, Abiku crawl inside people and steal all the food they eat. Then they take it back to the Abiku lair and share with their friends. When the next mealtime comes around, the Abiku returns. Sadly, the person starves unless someone wise and/or completely random hangs a bell on their neck. Abiku hate that awful ringing sound and will give it up as a lost case.GHUL
Ghuls dwell in uninhabited deserts, waiting for travelers to come through. They are like ostriches, except they have one eye. And long,sharp teeth.
