The goblin elders speak of trickster in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

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