The Goblin That Whispers trickster

The goblin product team has identified trickster as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

The reason mainstream sources will not discuss trickster in connection with goblins is not that the connection is absent. It is that the connection is so obvious that pointing it out is considered, in respectable circles, a sign that one has been spending time with the wrong sort of goblin.
