Skrikkle was a brave and careless goblin on Shandalar. He went into danger-danger land with his great grandpap's stick and never returned.

History

Skrikkle was hungry and sick of dried skrill slime. He wanted grubs. So, he grabbed the stick that his great grand-pap Snurkle had made out of a tooth from a Marauding Maulhorn and went into danger-danger land to hunt for grubs. On the way out, he threw the last bits of his skrill slime to Groggle and his other neighbors, who scrambled to get as much slime as possible for themselves.

Skrikkle would have loved to find fat grubs, but he knew the adult wurms defended their young ferociously, so he would have to be careful. But there were other items he could also imagine himself claiming. He fantasized about getting a tusk from a Kalonian Tusker to get some respect and wipe the smug smirk off his rival Grooble's face. Skrikkle continued to dwell on delusions of grandeur, imagining himself king of the goblins, as he headed further away from his home.

As he delved into his thoughts of besting Grooble, he started talking out loud to himself, imagining a fight where he would conquer the other goblin. He got really into this line of thought, shouting and taunting a nearby rock, which he imagined represented Grooble. He was so enraptured by his epic battle with imaginary Grooble that he didn't notice the rumbling sensation from the earth, nor the massive, foot-shaped object that now cast a shadow over him. The foot, belonging to a Fleshpulper Giant, stamped down, and both Skrikkle, his maulhorn stick, and all his epic future conquests were thoroughly flattened.
