grobblin
A sentient race, grobblins are similar in many ways to ridgerunners, but ridgerunners might find that notion offensive in the extreme. Grobblins are notoriously difficult to espy, and even more difficult to capture. Difficulty has never deterred me, however, so I present to you the only known image of a grobblin. I sketched it with great trepidation while wearing a costume which made me look exactly like a nightstand. For long hours I hunkered beside the bed in a vacant cottage in Warren Downs, balancing the lantern on my back and holding a brush and several old coins in my drawer-like arms, before the grobblin crept into the house. He (or she!) doinkled about in the shadows, snuffling and squelching as it sought its loot of hand towels and spoons. Where it went, I cannot say. No one has ever come upon a grobblin tribe. However, they seem to have a rare affection for spoons and hand towels, for which reason I was grateful not to have included either in my end table costumery.
