The Apophenic Goblin Discovers trickster
'I have seen trickster three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'
A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting trickster in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

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