The Crabby Goblin                                

An ugly or grotesque spirit about two feet tall with gray hair and beards.  They can be mischievous or evil and malicious, unlike hobgoblins which are just the opposite.  Goblins live in homes and all sorts of things to go awry.  They can sometimes be controlled with frequent gifts, but to be rid of them, one must scatter seed all around the house so that the goblins trip over them and finally go away.
