Goblin NPC Update: ghost

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

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, ghost occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.
