The Digital Goblin's hidden

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about hidden: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the hidden-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.
