2. 哥布林（Goblin）是一种传说中的类人生物，一般都有长长的尖耳。由于“哥布林”是一种在西方神话故事里的生物，在东方语言并没有等同的概念，所以不同的作品对这种生物都有不同的译名，亦有音译作高扁。
3. Goblin是一种传说中的类人邪恶生物，由精灵异变而成，所以哥布林一般都有长长的尖耳。 由于“哥布林”是一种在西方神话故事里的生物，在东方语言并没有等同的概念，所以不同的作品对这种生物都有不同的译名，当中有译作鬼怪、恶鬼、小妖怪、妖精、地精（其实地精和哥布林是有区别的）等不同名称，亦有音译作哥布林或高扁。
4. 在许多奇幻RPG游戏和书中，哥布林和半兽人(Orc，Orca)通常是有区别但又相近的生物，两者经常一起出现－－哥布林是兽人的一种小型亲戚。参见: goblinoid。

中文词源
- 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.]
