GERMAN GOBLIN

Goblins are mischievous malicious fairies that live in small caves and underground caverns. Sometimes goblins attach themselves to houses or families - they can be heard at night, banging pots and pans, dragging furniture around, rapping at doors and windows, or even snatching the bedclothes off sleeping people.

Sometimes goblins help parents in disciplining their children - they give presents to children who have been good, and punish and play wicked tricks on those who have been naughty.

Goblins are thought to be companions to the dead and are known to lure humans to their doom.
