An ugly anthropomorphic creature in Western European folklore. He loves to send excruciating nightmares, to unnerve with the noise he makes, to turn over the milk crates, to break chicken eggs in chicken coops, to blow soot from the oven into the newly cleaned hut, to blow out candles at the most inopportune moments.

The word comes from the Old Norman Fr. gobelin, which goes back to Lat. gobelinus from others-Greek. κόβαλος — "rogue", "demon". From the same root comes the "kobold".

The creature lives underground, does not tolerate sunlight and prowls the earth only at night.
