Goblins

**Goblins** are short little creatures who reside in Elvendale. As weak-minded beings, they are susceptible to the Goblin King's powers of mind-control. Normally, they are peaceful creatures. They live in the Goblin Village, where they like to have fun and put on talent shows.

## List of goblins

* **Barblin** — Great balloon ship pilot and mechanic.
* **Bieblin** — The born entertainer, and only a liiiitle bit of a diva.
* **Dukelin** — Great engineer, super smart, commander and leader.
* **Fibblin** — A superb tea maker and bearer of good, bad, and false news.
* **Guxlin** — Intelligent goblin, and an expert at making things grow.
* **Jimblin** — Small but strong. Says no to everything. Even his king!

* **Tufflin** — Always mad at everything. Especially - but not limited to - walls.

## Powers

For the most part, the majority of goblins don’t appear to have any magic abilities. However, there is one elderly goblin who is able to turn a chicken from white to red with a staff shaped like a question mark. It is possible that other goblins also possess “totally random magical powers,” as Sophie describes it. Aside from that, Guxlin gained temporary magic by eating a yellow flower bud. After consuming it, he was able to control the roots of a tree and used them to attack the main 5. Both these instances of magic were shown in *Secrets of Elvendale*.

## Trivia

* Prior to season 4, the goblins are the only ones who like Aira's singing.
* A number of goblins were contestants on the game-show "Evil Apprentice."
* It is difficult to determine whether any of the goblins are girls. In the webisodes, there does not appear to be any. In SoE, some of them have more stereotypically feminine traits such as "winged-eyeliner" eyelashes. However, Fibblin and Roblin have these pointy eyelashes as well, so this is not a reliable indicator.
* The goblins don't wear shoes. They all seem to be barefoot.
* Certain clues hint that the goblins represent Spain in the Napoleonic Wars.
* Some German magazines backup the fact that the goblins possess colour-changing magic.
* The goblins speak a mixture of English, Spanish, and gibberish.  They also sometimes use miming to help get their message across.
	+ Rimlin says "Bye Felicia" in SoE during The Worst Prisoner Ever.  It is a mystery as to how Elvendale residents are familiar with Earth sayings.
	+ In Sizeable Refreshment, Cronan tells Dukelin to take Sophie to the Goblin Village.  Dukelin replies "Si si, mastre" which means "Yes yes, master" in Spanish.
	+ Cronan demands an update from the goblins in SoE during The Watcher.  Dukelin mimes what happened with Rosalyn and Sapphire while also saying some gibberish.
	+ In Bring the Heat, Dukelin and Guxlin have a scroll that outlines the plan to get Emily's amulet. The instructions are drawn rather than written.
* There are some differences to their designs in SoE. A few goblins have unique features.
	+ Barblin wears gloves and has a pair of goggles on his forehead. Also, his hair has a more noticeable part down the middle. He also has a notch in his ear which often switches sides or disappears altogether.
	+ Fibblin wears a headband and has pointy eyelashes.
	+ Guxlin has blue markings on his cheeks. Also, his eyebrows are frayed at the ends.
	+ Jimblin has a green streak in his hair. Also, his eye-colour matches his hair instead of his complexion.
	+ Roblin wears gloves, has pointy eyelashes, and his shirt is striped.
	+ Smilin has an undercut.
	+ Tufflin has bushier eyebrows with frayed ends.
	+ All: The goblins sometimes turn into curved streaks when moving. Also, they have 4 fingers on each hand and 4 toes on each foot.
* According to some instagram comments from the writers, there were plans to name a goblin "Trumplin", presumably a play on words of 45th US President Donald Trump.
