Tree goblin

The tree goblin is an elusive creature found only in the northern reaches of Scotland. They are an endangered species and there are only 5000 left in the wild.

The tree goblin has bark-like skin in order to hide from those which would try to harm it, such as the fire goblin. It is a miniscule creature at 27cm. The goblins eyes are a bright yellow that can be easily seen through the thick plant growth. However, it’s eyes will not glow during the day because there is already light for them to see. Young tree goblins are fully lime green which makes them vulnerable to predators, so they must stay in the tree tops to avoid harm.

Tree goblins live in thick trees, which they have hollowed out to live in. This process takes around a year but provides safe shelter for the goblins. The majority of the trees that they live in have white or silver bark and pink core. They, usually, live in groups of three or four and scavenge in packs as well.

Unlike other goblins, these ride wild chickens and use them to get around more quickly. Unfortunately, this behaviour is rare to see. Also, they are very playful creatures, but they have to be careful not to expose themselves too much. Contrary to popular belief, they like to sunbathe on the tops of trees. Rather than getting sunburnt their bark gets shrivelled up.
