The point is, we don't really know if the entity name does anything hardcoded for certain, but from my modding experience it doesn't and you can name your entity LOLRANDUMPENGUINSXD or whatever. As long as it still has the same other entity tokens/tags as gobbos, it would act like them.
Actually, what makes the game call kobald thieves "skulking" is the tag that causes them to send thieves to steal your treasures.  The game calls the Skakdi of my LEGO mod "skulking" when they send thieves, even though the entry title is not [ENTITY:SKULKING].  What makes the game say that a vile force of darkness has arrived is, I believe, the fact that goblins have the [EVIL] tag.  The skakdi are also described as such when they send a siege, and they too have the [EVIL] tag.  Human sieges don't normally get that message.  Elves, humans and dwarves live in the areas they live in not because of their [ENTITY:x] tag, but because of the biome and site type tags further down the list.

ok, so something flagged as [Entity:Sinister] wouldn't cause a problem.  Damn I was hoping it was something simple.  Thanks guys, I'll keep looking it over, but I still need to playtest the mod to see if Naze and I were right about where the problem is.

Any suggestions for how to update a mod from 39E to the current 40D?
