In 1884, spiritualist Emma Hardinge Britten reported a story from a Madame Kalodzy, who claimed to have heard mine kobolds while visiting a peasant named Michael Engelbrecht: "On the three first days after our arrival, we only heard a few dull knocks, sounding in and about the mouth of the mine, as if produced by some vibrations or very distant blows." Kobolds are sometimes portrayed as being indifferent to human miners, so long as they are left alone. Other miners claimed that the knocks indicated where veins of metal could be found: the more knocks, the richer the vein. They interpreted such noises as warnings from the kobolds to not go in that direction. Nineteenth-century miners in Bohemia and Hungary reported hearing knocking in the mines. Tales from other parts of Germany make mine kobolds beneficial creatures, at least if they are treated respectfully. In 1780, scientists showed that this was in fact a new element, which they named cobalt. In 1735, Swedish chemist Georg Brandt isolated a substance from such ores and named it cobalt rex. Miners called these ores cobalt after the creatures from whom they were thought to come. Nevertheless, some stories claim that kobolds only returned such kindness with more poisonous ores. Miners tried to appease the kobolds with offerings of gold and silver and by insisting that fellow miners treat them respectfully. These ores caused a burning sensation to those who handled them. For example, 16th-century miners sometimes encountered what looked to be rich veins of copper or silver, but which, when smelted, proved to be little more than a pollutant and could even be poisonous. One favoured kobold prank was to fool miners into taking worthless ore. They were blamed for the accidents, cave-ins, and rock slides that plagued human miners. In medieval mining towns, people prayed for protection from them. Legends often paint underground kobolds as evil creatures. Some stories claim that the kobolds live in the rock, just as human beings live in the air. Superstitious miners believed the creatures to be expert miners and metalworkers who could be heard constantly drilling, hammering, and shoveling. Stories of subterranean kobolds were common in Germany by the 16th century. The kobold filled this role in German folklore and is similar to other creatures of the type, such as the English bluecap, Cornish knocker and the Welsh coblynau. Medieval European miners believed in underground spirits. A third kind of kobold, the Klabautermann, lives aboard ships and helps sailors. Another type of kobold haunts underground places, such as mines ("mine kobolds", this is what QFG Kobold was based on). In some regions, kobolds are known by local names, such as the Galgenmännlein of southern Germany and the Heinzelmännchen of Cologne. Famous kobolds of this type include King Goldemar, Heinzelmann, and Hödekin. Most commonly, the creatures are house spirits of ambivalent nature while they sometimes perform domestic chores, they play malicious tricks if insulted or neglected. Legends tell of three major types of kobolds.
