{{Infobox D&D creature |name=Nilbog |alignment= |type= |subtype= |source= |first= }} {{Tsrwotc}} {{Source|[[Necromancer Games]]}} {{Source|[[Games Workshop]]}} '''Nilbogs''' are a type of [[monster]] in the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] [[role-playing game]].<ref>{{citation|journal=White Dwarf|publisher=Games Workshop|date=April 1978|issue=6|pages=6-8}}</ref> They are a race of [[magic|magical]] [[goblin]]s that are healed by receiving damage and are damaged by healing [[Magic|spells]]. The name is "[[goblin]]" spelled backward, a reference to this reversal of effects. The exact connection between the nilbog and the '''[[llort]]''', which shares its power to heal by receiving damage, is unknown. ==Nilbog in other media== Nilbog is also the name of a fictional town in the film ''[[Wikipedia:Troll 2|Troll 2]]''.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.sltrib.com/arts/ci_5461297|publisher=The Salt Lake Tribune|title=Troll 2: As camp as it gets|author=Brandon Griggs|date=03/19/2007}}</ref> In this case it is also significant that the town's name is "goblin" spelled backwards, as the film, despite its title, features not [[troll]]s but [[goblin]]s. Upon realizing the true meaning of the town's name, the film's protagonist Joshua becomes terrified, as he realizes Nilbog is the goblins' [[Wikipedia:monarchy|kingdom]]. "Nilbog High" is also the name of the fictional high school at which you play in Career Mode of the video game [[Wikipedia:Guitar Hero II|Guitar Hero II]]. ==References== {{reflist}} *[[Don Turnbull|Turnbull, Don]], ed. ''[[Fiend Folio]]'' ([[TSR, Inc.|TSR]], 1981). *Greene, Scott ''[[Tome of Horrors]]'' ([[Necromancer Games]], 2002). [[Category:Humanoids]]
