Resembling, characteristic of, or relating to goblins; having a mischievous, grotesque, or otherworldly quality.
Derived from 'goblin' (a small mischievous creature) plus the suffix '-ine' meaning 'of or relating to.' This is a less common variant of 'goblin-like' that emerged in literary and fantasy contexts.
While 'goblinesque' and 'goblinish' are more common, 'gobline' appears in older fantasy literature and shows how English speakers experiment with different suffixes to describe the same idea—it's like linguistic creativity in action!
