What is a godling in The Witcher 3?
The in-game bestiary describes godlings as woodland creatures that live in burrows and moss-covered hollow stumps on the outskirts of settlements. They resemble children in appearance and behavior, enjoy mischief, and protect people and animals living near their homes. The description is reproduced in the Witcher Wiki’s Godling entry.
Godlings are drawn to children and quiet. They may perform small helpful acts, but expect consideration in return, such as respect and food or discarded tools. The bestiary warns that rudeness can offend them. They are classified among the game’s relict creatures and can be mistaken for lutins; that classification does not establish that the game’s description is a faithful account of real-world folklore.
The bestiary also attributes a passage to Professor Dorregaray’s fictional book The World We Have Lost: “Not too long ago the areas around peasant hamlets were chock full of guardian spirits. Today it’s nigh unto impossible to spot a brownie, bucca or lutin. And godlings, they are always the first to go. Such is the price we pay for civilization’s forward march.” This is in-world lore, not a statement by a real-world researcher.

Who is Johnny?
Johnny is a godling Geralt encounters in Velen while following a trail connected to Ciri. After Geralt helps him regain his voice, Johnny helps Geralt reach the Ladies of the Wood. He also helps Geralt and Ciri at Bald Mountain. The Official Witcher Wiki’s Johnny entry describes his quest role and the later choice-dependent scene.
Who is Sarah?
Sarah is the godling Geralt finds in the house believed to be haunted during the Novigrad quest Novigrad Dreaming. The apparent haunting is tied to her presence in the house, where Corinne Tilly is staying. Sarah’s identity and encounter are described in the Witcher Wiki’s Sarah entry.

What happens if Geralt sends Sarah away or lets her stay?
The choice changes Sarah’s later appearance, not her nature as a godling. The Prima Games Complete Edition guide describes the Bald Mountain outcome:
| Geralt’s choice in Novigrad | Later Bald Mountain scene |
|---|---|
| Send Sarah away | Sarah appears with Johnny and says things worked out because she met him. |
| Let Sarah stay with Corinne Tilly | Johnny appears alone in that scene; Sarah remains with Corinne. |
In the outcome where they meet, Sarah is Johnny’s friend. The story does not identify them as relatives.

Are there other godlings in the game?
The godling reference also lists an unnamed godling near Fyresdal. The available account does not establish a detailed quest story for that encounter, so it cannot be compared meaningfully with Johnny and Sarah. GamesLantern’s Godlings bestiary page reproduces material about their guardianship and what happens as settlements change.
