The Goblin is the titular antagonist of the Scy-Fy horror movie of the same name "Goblin" and although named after the malicious sprites of folklore is a very different being, akin to a demon or evil spirit. Appearing as an ethereal cloaked figure for the majority of the film its true form is a bestial humanoid with sharp fangs and claws, it is a particularly evil entity even by horror standards as it preys on children (including infants): who it traps in a limbo-like prison and feeds on their life-forces.
