[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9637854, member: 58172"] That is interesting. Looking at it, I might characterize it as follows. Where "doom" is moreorless the same thing as a "painful fate", I might characterize it as: • Fey Goblin: future possibilities of doing crazy doom • Humanoid Goblin: paying attention to crazy doom in the here and now • Shadow Goblin: past memories of crazy doom having been done One cant really have one aspect without the other, but there might be a sense of emphasis. With regard to the Humanoid, I say "Humanoid" means, the creature gains a "human soul". For example, where the Fey Elf is an animistic concept, such as the presence of successfulness of sunlight (Norse) or the successfulness of fertile soil (British), the Elf has a soul but not a human one. The Fey soul wants to shine or grow. But when a Fey creature becomes Humanoid, it takes on human modes of speech, social interactivity, human kinds of desire. Maybe it is comparable to a computer program that simulates human behavior but one day figures out what is necessary to "awaken" as a human, and does so. The Goblin is the nature spirit of a particular place, especially a hazardous and spooky terrain. It was equated with English "puck" and Norse "púki", not necessarily Evil but not exactly Good either. Nature can be dangerous. [/QUOTE]
