The Grublin is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Grublins are small green-skinned humanoid creatures about the size of children. Their round heads have large pointed ears, a tiny pair of horns, and a small black nose. Their sparse equipment consists of a pair of metal pauldrons, a small metal fauld covering a kilt of rags, a chipped sword, and a buckler strapped to their arms. They have a tendency to work themselves into a rage and can perform combination attacks when they call more of their kind to aid them in battle. Some Grublins have decided to take to the sky, riding bees as mounts.

Trivia

• The grublin's Japanese name, オコボルト (Okoboruto, オコボルト^?), is a reference to the kobold, a mischievous creature from Germanic folklore and mythology. Some types of kobolds were usually invisible spirits that could materialize as an object or human, often a small child. Another common depiction of kobolds were as household spirits that lived in human homes and performed domestic duties, but could play malicious tricks if they were neglected or insulted. The term kobold has also become interchangeable with goblin in modern literature and depictions.
