What sort of Warlock Patron would this be?

[Luccan]

I had the idea of a Goblin Warlocl whose patron was the greater entity whose spirit(s?) create Nilbogs. I could see a Great Old One or Fiend, or even refluffing Celestial somewhat (depending on what the entity's alignment is), but I'm looking for some input.

The whole schtick strikes me as Fey, and the abilities line themselves up well as a jokester/trickster

Yeah I could see that. I mostly thought of the others because a near-dead goblin deity seemed like it could fit the fluff well for all of those. Then again, I know some people like to make goblins more tied in with the fey, so that could make sense.

Well, technically it's an evil minor god who does that, so Fiend would be fitting if you go by the *nature* of the being.

But then Fey might be fitting, if you go by the *abilities* of the being.

Arguably you could refluff it to anything you want. (pending DM's approval)

But as the previous posters said it does strike me as fey and it could even be Puck, the goblin-like jester off the Summer Court.

Yeah, I'm thinking a refluffing of Fey (at a table where goblins haven't been made fey already) might be in order.

Edit: Actually I could see going "it's a really powerful fey the goblins believed was a god and they got a pretty fair shake out of the deal. Then Maglubiyet realized these things breed like rabbits and would make great fodder, so he kindly asked the fey to figure out what a god's smite felt like." Mostly dead, but the fey was vengeful enough it sort of stuck around.

Alignment: Chaotic Shakespeare

I'm aware Puck is older than Shakespeare's work

This actually reminds me of another thread I wanted to do statting up Shakespeare characters in 5e. Obviously most would be Monster Manual NPCs, but it seemed like fun.
