False Goblin

False goblins are a species of hominid part of the family, Adentidae. Mailicious and grotesque, a single goblin is a nuisance, but in large numbers such can be quite dangerous, but only if they're provoked. Goblins travel in roving bands scavenging for food and hunting small prey. They make their homes in rocky outcroppings, caves, or even in ditches along the sides of roads. Goblins' pranks run from distasteful to depraved. Most goblin species are born without teeth. They must find substitutes, either the teeth of other animals, or else sharp objects like glass, rock, or metals other than iron. There are many signs to look for if you suspect goblin folk are in the vicinity. Cats, dogs, and other small domesticated animals going missing is a telltale sign, as goblins will capture and eat them. Nightmares-especially of being chased-are another indication. For some reason, goblins have this effect on humans. Certain types of goblin species haunt battlefields where many soldiers have fallen. They soak their hats in the blood of the slain and their own victims. Appropriately, they are called Redcaps. Goblins in Irish mythology are not described so grostequely, but depicted as tiny humans.
