Template:Infobox race The Knockers, known also by several different names including knacker, coblynau, bucca, polterduk, karkorios, rübezahl, or pustecki, are larger and stronger breed of goblin, even though they are rarer. They inhabit various adits, grooves, precipices, chasms, dark cavities, burrows, delves, grottos, caverns and rocky heaths. Their existence in the area is always evidence for the presence of wealth hidden in the ground, such as ores, minerals, salt or petroleum. Considered as the malicious rogues and pests, and the real scourge for miners who they tantalize and haunts by knocking the rock, steal or destroy sidewalks, mining equipment and all possessions, sometimes even attack but stop at a few bruises. However, miners can get at them by food and alcohol.[1]

Geralt met one knocker, friend of Avallac'h, in the caves beneath Mount Gorgon. The knocker helped the witcher to get to Caed Myrkvid, serving him as a palfrey.[1]

For some reason, bucca is often confused with godling.[2]
