Ghostses and Goblinses

I've been dipping in and out of an anthology of Scandinavian folk & fairy tales over the last couple of months.

I bought it new in 1984, when I was 20ish.

It's a compilation of tales that were collected by various folklorists, mostly from the late 19th Century (around the time, but after, the Bros. Grimm published their most famous collection), And the stories were translated into English by various translators in roughly the same era.

Anyway -- My point is, that the spooky stories in this collection came about Well Before "Horror Tropes" were Hollywood Horror Tropes.

And I've come away with the impression that:

What these folklorists called "Goblins," we would probably look at and say: "That's some sort of zombie" (A deceased person that still has some sort of physical body, as opposed to an immaterial Ghost, who can pass through walls, and appear and disappear) and

What D&D (I think) classifies as a "Goblin," these folklorists would classify as a "Troll" (Sentient beings who are living, and have names, and cultures, and habits, who are often antagonistic, ranging from mischievous to malicious,* and whom you would not like to sit down to supper with, because of their disgusting-to-us eating habits*).

Since this is Spoopy Season, I thought that would be fun to share.

*Depending, of course, on the story's culture of origin. Danish trolls are much nicer than Norwegian ones... at least, in the stories in this collection. And just for an example.

For my next Monster AU art, here's the Snack Pack in their monster looks. Composed of DJ Suki, Cooper, Smidge, Biggie, Guy Diamond, Satin and Chenille, Legsly, Fuzzbert, and Prince Darnell, they are one of the pack of friends that Poppy, Branch, and Rose would lead in their fright-outs whenever they give humans nightmares by eating or scaring them out of their socks. I put them in their hard rock outfits or disguises and add some monstrous details to it.

The first founding members of the team, DJ Suki, Cooper, Smidge, Biggie, Guy Diamond, Satin and Chenille, and Fuzzbert are the first to become friends with Poppy and Rose, later Branch. They first met the two close beast friends when they and several monsters sought shelter in Nevermore Castle and the territories near it after running away from a monster hunter, who turned out to be Chef. As they grow up with the two monstresses, they soon form the Snack Pack, with Branch later joining them. Legsly is the only one to be added after Rose raised her from the grave while Darnell later joined the group at chapter 3.

DJ Suki is a banshee, so she can fly and float, hear things outside the range of normal perception, solid to intangibility shifting and vice versa, precogniciton, and her signature banshee scream, which she shares with her aunts and her niece, CJ Suki.

Cooper and Darnell are plant monsters, since their parents are also plant monsters, with Essence being born from a seed of a corpse flower and Quincy is born from a seed of a monster tree, making them based on different plants. Like their parents, the funky plant brothers can control vegetation, communicate with plants, and create pollen out of their mouths or their vine hairs to control anyone but they can control one individual at a time. After escaping from the monster hunter, the twins and their parents stayed with Celestia, Rose and the Nevermore Clan until they were given an abandoned mansion as their own home.

Smidge is a transgender goblin with super strength, despite her size. As a member of the Pukwudgie clan, Smidge is trained among her tribe to become a warrior but things went south when they were attacked by the same monster hunter and she and her family escaped to Nevermore Castle with the other monsters. There, she met Rose and Poppy, who later befriended her and soon, she used her superhuman strength to good use on the humans.

Biggie, on the other hand is a type of monster called a Hyde, which is a monster that transform into their beast form with long claws, fanged teeth, and immense strength, mobility, and resilience, but he is able to transform properly like his older brother, who he only had after their parents were killed by the same monster hunter that killed the other Snack Pack members’ parents. He is always accompanied by his pet ectoplasmic goo dog, Mr. Dinkles and he only transforms when he needs to protect his friends from monster hunters and hordes of angry humans.

Since I HC Guy Diamond as South Asian, he would be a yeti, like Abbey Bominable in Monster High. He and his family migrated from the snowy mountains of Mount Everest to their new home but the parents were killed by the same monster hunter, leaving their daughters and Guy, who hasn't got the transition yet, to escape and find refuge in Nevermore Castle, where he met Rose and Poppy. Years after transitioning to male, Guy Diamond felt more confident in himself that he becomes the life of the party and the resident drama king. He had a lot of boyfriends and male lovers until he got pregnant after a one-night stand with a male yeti and had baby Tiny. Like all yetis, he has cryokinesis, superhuman strength, and has the ability to shift his size. Tiny, who is just a baby yeti, is still learning how to use his powers so it would be unpredictable

Since Satin and Chenille are Japanese in my human Au, they'd be the jorōgumo in my monster Au. The twins, alongside Fuzzbert are immigrants from Japan but they lost their parents because of a monster hunter, which caused them to seek refuge with Rose’s vampire clan. Having a venomous bite, three arms, an endless supply of silk threads, and the ability to crawl on walls and ceiling is extremely useful for the two. They can weave fabrics, sew and make clothes and multitask while at the same time, catch their prey.

Fuzzbert is a werecat who is the silent member of the group, due to a medical condition that rendered him mute. He lost his parents because of the same monster hunter and ended up living in the Nevermore Castle. Despite not being able to speak, he is a skilled climber and hunter, due to his cat physiology and superhuman condition.

Legsly, on the other hand, is a zombie in the monster Au. She became a new member of the Snack Pack after she was raised from the ground by Rose, who was practicing vampiric magic. Unlike all zombies, she retained sapience after the transformation but she can still absorb memories and gain skills and abilities through eating the brains of humans.

Here’s an alternate Biggie pic with his pet Mr. Dinkles as an ectoplasmic goo Pomeranian.

There's more to come so stay tuned, ghouls and mansters!
