Everquest
In the MMORPG "Everquest 2", goblins are portrayed as largely mischievous, primitive, fairly foolish creatures. Small and green, with large pointy ears and yellow eyes, they tend to look and sound as silly as they act. "Gigglegibber" Goblins run a series of gambling games throughout "Norrath". Upon visiting their hideout during the 'Frostfell' season (Christmas 2005 special quest) it is revealed that in addition to this gambling game they are also attempting to - unsuccessfully - forge gold coins, and yet they have no intention spending any of this money, they simply wish to 'have' it. Most of their schemes are harmless, though often illegal. Not all goblins of "Norrath" are so benign, however, with some being evil, and even falling under the control of external dark magic.
