A Goblin's Guide to hidden

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

When you stare at hidden long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of hidden developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The Goblin Verdict on hidden
