Caught in the wylds of the Northern Territory of Michigan, a brush goblin. This creature is also commonly known as a lawn goblin. Distantly related to their urbanized cousins, "lawn gnomes" these goblins, attempt to dress themselves in hopes of obtaining the free meals and board that gnomes enjoy.
Unfortunately, unlike gnomes who have been breed and groomed for centuries to remain still in gardens and other green lush locations while wearing garments made for them by their owners, brush goblins, easily grow bored and like all goblins with nothing better to entertain themselves will begin to destroy beautifully manicured topiaries, herb gardens, and potted plants.
While relatively harmless to humans, as their diet pertains mostly to plant matter and large insects, they have been known to tease household pets into permanent neurotic behavior and to steal small shiny objects that they can drag under a door or a mouse hole when scavenging in a house.
The oddest part of this creature is it's fascination with sheep bells. This one I found was proudly wearing one on it's tail, which is how I found it when walking the grounds of my family's home.
I will be taking this specimen home with me for further studies.
