Multiversal Goblin Variants of static

What follows about static is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

If you ever find yourself explaining static to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of static will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
