The story of the mad trapmaker is known by most goblins. The goblin, formerly called Brigks, tried to control the influence of the crystal by scientific research. After his research proved to work on rats, he wanted goblin trials, but no one came running. He attempted the experiments on himself and with time, he became less and less of what he once was. Now, he only serves as a children’s tale; but only a few of those unfortunate enough know it is no myth.
Avid Trapper
No one knows why the mad scientist turned to the making of traps, although many cynics believe he captured goblins to continue his mad experiments. What is known still is that with time, there are new and improved traps found, showing its work is not yet finished.
