Array aghast through shadows creep,

Beneath the moon, they lick and leap!

Cunning and crafty, their eyes gleam wide,

Dancing in darkness, a mischievous side!

(>'-')> <('-'<)

Eerie cackles echo, cast ‘gainst the night,

Forest children of old, cursed with foresight.

Goblin horde in the gloom they amass,

Hellish schemes hatched as the hours pass.

^(' - ')^ v(- -)v

Inside the court of the Mountain King,

Jesters of chaos tumble and ring.

Knavish and nimble, they play their part,

Lurking in shadow raised to sinister art.

<('-'<) (>'-')>

Mystical mayhem in their devious minds,

Ne'er-do-wells nocturnal, note peculiar kinds.

Ogres spotted amidst those reviewed,

Prowling and plotting, their attitudes skewed.

(>'-')> <('-'<)

Quizzical grins on their grotesque faces,

Riddles and rhymes placed in peculiar places.

Sly and stealthy, across nets they slink,

Trolls and their goblins spreading nightmarish link.

^(' - ')^ v(- -)v

Underneath mother’s watchful gaze keen,

Vexing and vile, a virginal scene.

Wily and wicked, protected by secret lair,

Xenophobic whispers rise to fill the air.

<('-'<) (>'-')>

Yearning for chaos, they revel in fright,

Zealots all, denizens of the Underblight.
