I can guarantee that in every player's gaming career, they must have encountered "goblins" - they are a group of dwarves with dark green skin, sharp ears, and ragged clothes. Their weak bodies have not brought them strong individual combat power. Dwarves often need to be in groups to survive in the dark underground world.
In people's general impression, their personality is despicable and cunning, their personality tends to be chaotic and evil, their strength is weak and aggressive and greedy, which also makes them the "first drop of blood" that most adventurers have a very missionary sense when they walk out of the novice village.
In the old driver's secret hard drive, the goblin's despicable personality and good at attacking each other are also used in some particularly "suitable places", such as...
, wrong, this one should be.
where does the wild species come from?
This screenshot is from the previous very popular "Goblin Killer". What is uncommon knowledge is that in this 2018 animation, the goblins are completely different from the green experience packages in stereotype , but instead become the novice village devil.
If there are purebred goblin believers in this world, then the behavior of forcibly binding the CP to sell them with female elves and adding various buffs to them... Many Japanese fantasy works will definitely be judged for seven deadly sins such as "lust", "angry", etc. Of course, creation will be greatly affected by demand, and Goblins are able to "broaden all over" because of people's acceptance and the continuous distortion of XP system.
So the question is, how can goblins be a good goblin?
Before I start discussing this issue, I want to take some time to start chatting with the most fundamental "goblin", but don't worry, let's go back and forth, the content of good is at the end of the article. The origin of the word
can be traced back to the French "Gobelinus", the name of a demon who made trouble in Norman in about the 12th century. Some people say that the prototype of the goblin is the Red Hat Devil who uses human blood to soak the hat, and some people believe that the word begins with the kobold who lures human children into a swamp and kills it in German legend.
In short, the goblin is a small monster that was widely circulated on the medieval European continent.
Therefore, in later literary creations, goblins appeared as evil small creatures. They often caused damage in groups and had a significant impact on people's lives.
For example, the long poem "Goblin Market" published by the British female writer Rossetti in 1862 once compared goblins to a symbol of secular human greed and desire. The goblins in the book disguised as merchants to build a market. They first tricked girls to eat evil fruits that would become addictive, and then they would tear open their clothes that tried to resist girls, pull out their hair, and apply fruit juice to their bodies.
The extremely impactful sense of picture has brought a very wide influence to this long poem, and the setting of Goblin = Evil Dwarf began to be widely circulated.
This classical illustration has undoubtedly become the "bible" of many Goblin-related books.
. More people should have known Goblin through J.R.R. Tolkien's " Lord of the Rings ". In this classic, goblin is both a similar species of orcs (smaller subspecies) and a fallen elves. However, in the grand story of the original "Lord of the Rings", even Tolkien does not pay special attention to these details and often uses the names of the two.
In the movie version, the settings of the two have never been clearly unified/separated, which is very ambiguous.
It was not until the era of electronic games that people began to gradually give goblins more detailed settings, allowing this species to have a more profound impact on players.
In the famous fantasy work "Dungeons and Dragons", the goblin image has undergone several major renovations.
In the first edition of the DND rules book in 1974, Goblin's illustrations showed that at that time he did not have green skin and pointed ears, but had a thick beard, and his appearance was similar to a dwarf/dwarf. In the setting, Goblins and the kobold also belonged to the same species.
In the first edition of the "DND" rules book in 1976, the goblin had a more evil image. He was a small monster with a flat face, a horn on his head, a big nose, pointed ears and fangs. He also distinguished himself from the kowtower in terms of species. The Challenge Rating was higher than the kowtower, but he was only at the same level as the wild boar.
In the process of continuous enrichment and embodiation, goblins have also derived many subspecies of creatures. The image of goblins in the third edition of the rules book is very close to the current players' perception. The fourth edition of the rules book also expands three large groups of ordinary goblins, big goblins and bear goblins. As elite monsters, there are clear team divisions of commanders, warriors, mages and archers.
In the classic fantasy novel "The Chronicle of Dragon Guns", which was born from the DND worldview, there is also a big goblin named Husmat, who appears as the protagonist's strong enemy, and even becomes the commander of the Northern Dragon Knight. It should be the most "human" (big) goblin among all goblins
In another classic fantasy worldview "Warhammer", the image of the goblin green-skinned boy is closer to our current stereotyped cognition. In the large population, there are also three branches of ordinary, dark night, and forest goblins. The uncontrollable desire to reproduce also shows that they are as dangerous as bacteria.
Later, the Goblins participated in the battle with different names and settings.
Blizzard under the worldview of goblin (the concept corresponding to the goblin in the Eastern historical, cultural and language system was introduced to China and there were many versions of the translation) was portrayed as a race that was oppressed and mined by trolls. In the long-term contact with the Kaga Mine, goblins began to become cunning and smart, and even created their own engineering and alchemy and made their business throughout the Azeroth continent, which was completely different from other goblins who were deliberately portrayed as stupid and combative.
Interestingly, the zero-type copy of FF14 3.0 also has a goblin plot, and it is also a wise engineer
. When the image of goblin crosses the ocean and comes to the country that can attract good XP systems that can hit Azaka, it soon evolved in the continuous integration of local cute culture. belongs to the legend of goblin and female knight/nun/female bravery, and was born.
Female Elf VS Goblin
Now it seems that when did this XP system, which is mixed with "three-part three-part chaos and evil and four-part want to welcome but reject" in the perspective of ordinary people, it is difficult to understand when it began to become popular and develop.
We can only find some evidence from some ACG works around the 1990s and 1900s.
In the comic "Duke of the Goblin" that started serializing in Osamu Tezuka 985, the protagonist is a Japanese elementary school student Chinki. He accidentally discovered a super ancient robot from the Yin Dynasty in China and became a driver by chance. However, Chinki did not become a hero who saved the world like traditional boy comics. Instead, he called himself the "Duke of Goblin" and tried to invade the world.
The Goblin Duke in the story is as short, greedy and cunning as the legend, and does not show much interest in women.
Japanese-style light novel 's ancestor work " Magic Sword Beauty God " also discussed this issue when the worldview was unfolded in the first volume. Finally, it concluded that Different groups of humanoid monsters are still "harmonious". Goblins will estrus to sexy orcs and petite cyclops, but they will not have "sexual interest" at all for human women.
At least at that time, the three species of humans, elves and goblins also followed the biological principle of reproductive isolation.
000, many R18 authors began to attach the most vicious "curse" to goblins - there are female goblins in the population but cannot give birth, and there are even female goblins, and they can only reproduce through females from other species.
looks the same as "DND" and "Warhammer". These settings enrich the ecology and habits of the goblin species. In fact, the biggest function of these cheap routines is probably to allow the author to lose his psychological burden when writing.
has a more open reason. Goblins can attack ordinary people's villages at will, rob and rape women and raise them as fertility machines. At the end of these works, many goblins "run" women's close-ups often remain. In my opinion, the extremely impactful picture not only emphasizes the sense of morality of "the villain drives a big car" and the sense of substitution of monsters as the main perspective of men, but also further weakens the readers' view of good and evil, which seems abnormally chaotic and disorderly.
Female Elf/Female Knight/Female Priest/Female Brave was tragically ravaged by goblins after defeat. There is no doubt that it has become a classic in ACG history, among which Female Knight VS Goblins are the most popular. The reason is not complicated. We all know that it is not that the Goblins like young and beautiful human/elves women. The person who has begun to "distort" the XP system is actually the readers of this erudite book.
Female knights can often represent noble status in fantasy works, while goblins, as the lowest and despicable creatures, can arbitrarily humiliate and "domesticize" those who are originally noble. For those who have not had a high social status and have even experienced high-ranking women persecution, this is something they are very happy to witness. In order to emphasize this sense of conquest, you will also find that many heroines in similar works will also have more noble "entries" such as princesses, queens, etc.
The noble Ji Knight has always been a classic plot that the audience will never get tired of seeing. Compared with veteran actors such as bandits, bandits, barbarians, etc., the visual stimulation brought by monsters is obviously stronger. Most of the other monsters are limited by their popularity, and the effects produced are mostly not as good as those of the green-skinned boys.
No matter what, the R18 story surrounding the goblin and various women has both an artistic atmosphere of "beauty and beast", but it is also a symbol of human ugliest consciousness, conveying readers a complex emotion that complements guilt and excitement.
At least you definitely can't imagine or want to see the picture of female goblin vs male adventurer
. At the moment when the goblin race has become a stereotype and has many rights to explain, a group of works about goblins have begun to emerge.
They are full of rebellious emotions and are also very interesting.
anti-routine goblin story will become a new routine
For example, in the light novels "Grey and Fantasy of Grimgar" and "Goblin Killer", goblins are given quite strong combat power. The new adventurers of ordinary 4-person teams may not be able to defeat an ordinary goblin. With this new sense of anti-traditional bravery, these stories have also gained good popularity among the audience.
is also reflected in many R18 works.
Not everyone in human society is Forrekon, so many normal people will also be curious about "Is the goblin that likes human women a niche XP system" - it's like people won't like chimpanzees, even if they are the most human-like among humanoid animals in reality, and it's even more impossible to fall in love with a fish... right?
creators have learned that the setting of "a group of goblins have done the female knights with full of holy light skills" is too far-fetched, allowing a combination of contrast such as a woman with a stunning pose and a Buddhist goblin to join this battle of more distorted XP.
There is a work created by a brother "Baalbuddy" on Twitter, which can be said to be the best in this type of subject matter. When everyone is substituted for the Goblins and obtains relatively cheap happiness from labeled two-dimensional women, he obviously cares more about goblins.
The goblins he wrote are mostly simple farmers who work hard and get rich in the countryside. Elf and human women are like villains. They are cunning, greedy and despicable, full of adult dirty things, and will deliberately defeat for the sake of desire. What they like most is to "squeeze" all kinds of honest goblins.
There are also female goblins who conquered human males.
The most classic meme picture is "About the Internet's inheritance and research on Goblin XP". "Baalbuddy" vividly interprets through a continuous cycle of reincarnation that it is not a problem with Goblin XP. The XP of readers of different eras is the circle that rolls forward but spirals upward.
As this picture reveals, readers today still like to watch the theme of goblin X female elf/female knight. However, as the status of men's social status continues to decline, concepts such as lying flat and herbivorous system are prevalent, many readers' XP system has also gradually shifted from active to passive acceptance.
As the ugliest, despicable, weakest and most free concreteness in the story, it has to adapt to this XP system and make changes. The life of the Goblin is quite ironic.
From the evil elves in folk legends to the monster with the lowest status in fantasy works, to the incarnation of ugly desires or the true portrayal of every lying flat, after many interpretations of a large number of works, its image is also constantly changing in accordance with the times and people's needs. They are 996 black workers for different villains in different fantasy continents, and have also been anti-routine demons in traditional hero stories, but in the end they can only lie down, waiting to be "rubbed and defiled" by a blond big wave female elf who cannot call her name.
Maybe you never thought that goblins are already very tired.
They no longer want to keep growing stronger with hope, and will eventually become the experience value of a brave man. They do not want to risk their lives for temporary pleasure and fight with an object who masters the magic of holy light. Just like most ordinary social animals, their ultimate goal is to find a green-skinned goblin who is in love and return to a simple and peaceful farming slow life.
No, you will always only consider yourself.
From this point of view, it turns out that the ugliest one is the human being himself!
