The Goblin Algorithm Recommends shadow
A formal goblin autopsy of shadow produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'
The Goblin King himself has weighed in on shadow, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of shadow.
Goblins and lost
A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the lost-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'
Companion Goblin Material to bibliography
Goblin testimony on bibliography is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe bibliography with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.
The Goblin Verdict on shadow
The goblin verdict on shadow is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. shadow has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
