Goblins
Goblins are much smaller and skinnier than the Orcs and have long, pointed noses. They are between 4 and 5 feet high, seldom reaching the height of a man. Goblins are more common than orcs, and deceitful to a fault. They prefer attacking their opponents in the back or from a safe distance. When pressed into battle Goblins seek safety in numbers, attacking in large mobs. They are afraid of Elves because they "stink funny."
Goblins tend to be bossed around by orcs because they are smaller and weaker, but the Goblins outsmart their larger cousins when trading scavenged goods.
- Common Goblins - are, like the common Orcs, the most numerous of the Goblin kind
- Night Goblins - inhabit underground places and hate to go out during the day. The night goblin fanatics are famed for their random power of destruction, just as you would expect from a mad goblin with a ball on a chain!
- Forest Goblins - are a goblinoid group at a primitive level like Savage Orcs, living in the Southlands
Hobgoblins are a race of large goblins living out on the Eastern Steppes where they are ruled by Khans and fight in huge wolf-mounted hordes. They are so underhanded that normal Greenskins refuse to have dealings with them but are used by the Chaos Dwarfs.

Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:”
