Collectively, the artwork of these cards gives a rough narrative where the Goblin of Greed is obsessed with Pot of Greed and its variants, and tries to make its fortune selling or stealing them, but through misfortune or misadventure he loses his fortune and is forced to do menial jobs to make money; then a new opportunity to acquire Pot of Greed arises and the Goblin goes back to scheming, the cycle repeating.

In the early days of the Spanish TCG, there were a fair number of cards which names featured diacritical marks where they shouldn't be, or a complete lack thereof. This case matches that of Jar of Greed, which was eventually corrected.

OCG Rulings
The Tricky: "The Tricky" is not a Special Summon monster. Despite being a monster that can be Normal Summoned, it is a monster that can also be Special Summoned by performing the procedure of discarding 1 card from the hand. In other words, Special Summoning "The Tricky" from the hand by discarding 1 card from the hand does not start a Chain, and is not an effect that activates. Therefore, even if "Goblin of Greed: While "Goblin of Greed" is face-up, applying its effect that prevents effects from being activated by discarding cards, can "The Tricky" be Special Summoned by the method described in its text?
"Goblin of Greed" prevents discarding as a cost, but not as part of an effect. So "Goblin of Greed" will stop "Kuriboh", but not "Mirage of Nightmare" or "Graceful Charity".
If your opponent activates an effect and discards as a cost, and you chain "Call of the Haunted" to Special Summon "Goblin of Greed", he doesn't stop the effect because the cost was already paid.
Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou:" Sending 1 card to the Graveyard is a cost. This is not "discarding"and you can pay the cost even if "Goblin of Greed" is in play.
