Gashwad is the euphemistic name given to a goblin from Kennet.

Personality

Relationships

The only Kennet goblin who isn't one of Sir Toadswallow's students.<ref name=":1">Toadswallow pointed. “Over there, separate from my students, is… you can call it Gashwad. Cherry, dear, stop fighting or I’ll drown you in an outhouse.”
Gashwad was off with some of the Others, perched on the shoulder of the man with the questionable haircut who’d been called John. It had a nose like a toucan had a beak, and dark eyes that seemed stuck in a perpetual glare. - excerpt from Lost for Words 1.2</ref>

Appearance

Smaller than a human, able to perch on Bluntmunch. Has a huge, pickaxe-like nose.<ref>She could see the things in the bushes. Small, ugly, and twisted. Something she might have taken as a stone in the corner of her eye was a figure too lumpy and misshapen to be a person. Three other things were perched on him, one maybe a girl, tiny with red-stained skin, her expression twisted into a permanent scowl, then a fat one with what looked like nails sticking point-out from the inside of his belly, wearing a waistcoat and monocle, and a scrawny one with a nose like a pickaxe. - excerpt from Lost for Words 1.1</ref><ref name=":1"/>

Abilities and Art

Said to specialise in "tainting things".<ref>Interview Notes 2</ref> Exceptionally aware of entrances to the Warrens, allowing him to effectively teleport.<ref>Gashwad kept skipping ahead.  He was lying in wait now. “How’s he moving like that!?” Lucy called out. “There’s little paths and tunnels, if you’re tuned into the Warrens,”

Avery said.  “The place goblins come from.  Snowdrop showed me some.  

Gash- gash seems to know most of them!” - excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.8</ref>

Chronology

Edith approached him to help with the conspiracy but he refused her offer and stayed loyal to the trio.<ref>“I know why you’re asking.  You’re wondering if I’m gonna turn on ya.”

“Are you?”

“Nah.  Nah, figured out what was going on, Edith asked, y’know?  Before you got her.”

“Did she?”

“Thought ya knew, catching her.  Nah.  She asked, but I figured it was too clever.  See, you ask a goblin like me to bash someone’s face in, and the person asking’s a goblin?  They’ll be all why haven’t you bashed that face already!?  Right?”- Excerpt from Summer Break 13.9</ref>
