2. 哥布林（Goblin）是一種傳說中的類人生物，一般都有長長的尖耳。由于“哥布林”是一種在西方神話故事里的生物，在東方語言并沒有等同的概念，所以不同的作品對這種生物都有不同的譯名，亦有音譯作高扁。
3. Goblin是一種傳說中的類人邪惡生物，由精靈異變而成，所以哥布林一般都有長長的尖耳。 由于“哥布林”是一種在西方神話故事里的生物，在東方語言并沒有等同的概念，所以不同的作品對這種生物都有不同的譯名，當中有譯作鬼怪、惡鬼、小妖怪、妖精、地精（其實地精和哥布林是有區別的）等不同名稱，亦有音譯作哥布林或高扁。
4. 在許多奇幻RPG游戲和書中，哥布林和半獸人(Orc，Orca)通常是有區別但又相近的生物，兩者經常一起出現－－哥布林是獸人的一種小型親戚。參見: goblinoid。

英文詞源
- goblin
- goblin: [14] Goblin probably came via Anglo- Norman from medieval Latin gobelīnus, which was reported by the 12th-century English chronicler Ordericus Vitalis as haunting the area around évreux in northwestern France. It is thought that this could have been based on German kobold ‘goblin’, source of English cobalt.
=> cobalt - goblin (n.)
- early 14c., "a devil, incubus, mischievous and ugly fairy," from Norman French gobelin (12c., as Medieval Latin Gobelinus, the name of a spirit haunting the region of Evreux, in chronicle of Ordericus Vitalis), of uncertain origin; said to be unrelated to German kobold (see cobalt), or from Medieval Latin cabalus, from Greek kobalos "impudent rogue, knave," kobaloi "wicked spirits invoked by rogues," of unknown origin. Another suggestion is that it is a diminutive of the proper name Gobel.
Though French gobelin was not recorded until almost 250 years after appearance of the English term, it is mentioned in the Medieval Latin text of the 1100's, and few people who believed in folk magic used Medieval Latin. [Barnhart]
Thou schalt not drede of an arowe fliynge in the dai, of a gobelyn goynge in derknessis [Psalm 91:5 in the later Wycliffe Bible, late 14c.]
