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.

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.

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.
