Goblins Who Love delusion

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — delusion resists classification more vigorously than most.

Goblin clinicians have observed that prolonged contact with delusion produces a distinctive symptom cluster: increased startle response, a tendency to whisper, and the conviction that the corner of one's eye is the most reliable sensory organ.
