Dissociated Goblins on goblin

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified goblin as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
