Changes: Lubberkin

Latest revision as of 18:47, 5 December 2023

	Legends claim you can bury a botchling under the family's threshold, perform a ritual and turn it into a lubberkin. That's a sort of, uhh... hob, a guardian spirit that could lead me to your family.
- Geralt to Phillip Strenger, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

A lubberkin (Polish: kłobuk) is a friendly household guardian spirit created from a botchling through Aymm Rhoin, an elven naming ritual, during which it is given a proper name and a burial under the threshold of the family estate. A lubberkin looks very similar to a botchling, though the main difference being its ghost-like, glowing, white aura and relatively passive behavior.

Trivia

The game is relatively faithful in portraying this old belief, as in Polish folklore the poroniec also turned into the friendly "kłobuk" spirit when a stillborn is buried properly under the threshold of the house.

Notes

Depending on one's actions in Family Matters, one can turn the botchling into a lubberkin that Phillip will name Dea.
