File Photo #361--”Confirmed Sighting”

Subject Type: Cryptid, colloquially “Hopkinsville Goblin.”

Subject Designation: Gremlin.

Threat Level: ++++

Status: Unknown, still at large.

--Changeling informant [designated "M" to preserve anonymity] corroborated with the accounts of the field agents involved in the break in and resulting brief sighting. M previously worked with the subject and hired him out for multiple jobs involving memory scrubbing, evidence cleansing and data corrpution. M is currently the only primary informant for this case that has come forward with any information.

--[CAUTION] Despite "goblin" being in the species name, he is a cryptid and not a "true" goblin, although he behaves and exhibits many traits possessed by the faekin. Therefore he is not weakened by methods normally employed to combat faeries, such as use of ferrous metals and instead consumes it readily.

--Subject "Zee" is a confirmed and veteran Gremlin, using his Crypsis [cryptid analog to faerie Glamour] to complement his Gremlin skills and to make identification and detection troublesome or misleading.

[CAUTION] Confirmed matter, spacial and planar phaser and datavore. Possesses "conundrum cusps," Gremlin-specific implants to aid in creation of gates and direct interaction and interference with man-made electronincs and software.

Any recruits that have not been given the green light are not authorized to engage and are instead advised to gather evidence instead. If present in an escalated,hostile encounter with the subject instead plant a locator beacon and withdraw immediately.

My first submission for Goblin Week and I ended up going way overboard with it. Been wanting a good catch-all "face" character for the longest time whenever I can't use Oort due to him being in a niche fandom setting. This image just came to me vividly when I was just laying in my room. Already excited to develop him better in my Uncanny Hosts setting!
