Our Goblins Are Different | comment |
Goblins in fiction are usually small, ugly creatures which tend to be evil, crabby, and/or mischievous. While they're smaller and weaker than orcs (when the word doesn't refer to the same creature) and trolls (most of the time), goblins may make up for this by being dangerous in other ways. They may manufacture clever traps to trip up the unwary foe, or overwhelm him through sheer numbers. But goblins in folklore and fantasy fiction can differ almost as much as trolls do. In folklore, goblins were diminutive household pests, or at best wild creatures, and were typically conflated with whatever trolls and/or faeries fit the trope. A stronger form of goblin may be known as a hobgoblin, though the term originally denoted the friendlier variety of goblin (the word "hob" being derived either from the shelf at the back of a fireplace and thus indicating "hearth and home" or from a Middle English nickname for "Robert"). English Puritans later started using the word "hobgoblin", originally meaning a friendlier variety of goblin, to mean "demon", which probably is why Tolkien used the word "hobgoblin" to mean "a bigger goblin". Both goblins and hobgoblins, if they were viewed at all as a mythical race, instead of just monsters or diminutive faeries of the nasty sort, would be generally considered the "dark" version of elves or dwarves in that culture. In fantasy, goblins have gained a distinct purpose: their lack of size and strength makes any evil act they may commit seem comical by default, and thus they tend to serve as the lowest rung of the Sorting Algorithm of Evil, and are usually the first kind of Mook a budding adventurer will fight, essentially making them The Goomba of RPGs. "Hobgoblin" has become the denomination for a stronger variety of goblins (which may or may not be conflated with the orc), typically closer to humans in size. This usage of the word was propagated by Dungeons & Dragons. Generally if you have both hobgoblins and orcs, hobgoblins will be a more "civilised" regimented evil while orcs will be dim, marauding barbarians — though, aesthetically, goblins will be the ones who grab their stuff from the scrap yard while the orcs will buy their equipment (or kill you and take it from your corpse). Since many depictions of goblins have traits you'd find in certain propaganda, there tend to be some Unfortunate Implications. This is especially the case when their design and mannerisms heavily borrow traits from said stereotypes. Two trends in modern (approx. 2000s) fantasy is to make goblins have a slightly more fleshed out role by: Turning them into a Proud Merchant Race with a unique gift for managing your money, or separating you from it. Making goblins masters of technology, often shunned by other races in the setting (with gnomes, dwarves, and humans being possible exceptions). In accordance with the less-than-serious overall image of goblins, their inventions tend to be rickety and unstable, hilariously violent, or they simply explode spectacularly at the slightest provocation. And as of the 2010s, it grew increasingly more popular (especially in erotic works) to depict their women as incredibly lustful and beautiful shortstacks with a sex-drive on par with Succubi and Incubi and an addiction to pregnancy, thus explaining their Explosive Breeder tendencies. And yes, they almost never do it with other goblin men and almost always look for partners bigger than themselves, even the likes of ogres, centaurs and dragons... See also Our Orcs Are Different, for another fantasy species goblins are often linked to, and Our Kobolds Are Different, for another species with similar folkloric origins and use in modern fantasy, as well as Standard Fantasy Races. |

Another branch of the family is introduced in Twilight Princess called the Bulblins. Basically they're the smaller variety of their King Mook, King Bulblin. They don't seem to be too different from the Bokoblins aside from being green, riding pigs and dressing in black. | |

Pact has goblins being a loose classification for animalistic Others that share traits such as disliking running water. Pale, the sequel, fleshes out goblin culture immensely, with several goblin characters as part of the main and supporting cast. The ones that aren't animalistic, like the Hyena, come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of awkward and painful-looking body modification. A few common threads remain, however -they tend towards the brutal, exalt size and musculature as a byword for strength, and revel in making things uncomfortable or painful for the humans and Others they victimize. This does come with a weakness to being bound by clean or things - if a goblin is small enough, they can be trapped in a bucket of soapy water. | |

Symbaroum: Goblins' origins remain a mystery to most men, save that they emerge from the enormous forest of Dazovar, and feel compelled to return there at around the age of 30 to die lonely deaths in the wilderness. Those that don't take to banditry or treasure-hunting sometimes find work as day laborers, but tend to repulse others with their inherently juvenile and rambunctious behavior. They are also the larval forms of trolls, and a goblin who fulfills their "death drive" uninterrupted begins to pupate in the woods; those that survive the process either become warlike, horned trolls or — for reasons unknown — large, malformed blank slates known as ogres. | |

They also show up as a playable race in Might and Magic VII. They're roughly the size of a human, a bit dumb (though not excessively so—most of the goblin NPCs show no sign of being dumber than the average human NPC), and while most of the non-player (both monster mobs and actual characters) goblins are bad guys, or at least vaguely aligned with the bad guys, nothing hinders player goblins from aligning with the other side. | |

In the Tenabran Trilogy, goblins have a bad rap among humans because they made up the bulk of the Sorcerous Overlord's armies, but it turns out that they're really not that bad, they just suffer from a species-wide lack of resistance to sorcerous mind control. Left to themselves, they're a peaceful and artistic race—but good luck getting people to believe that, particularly since they're still definitely ugly by human standards. | |

Rucks in the Mithgar novels are explicitly described as goblins; they're short, scrawny humanoids with big, bat-like ears that generally get used as cannon-fodder by the Big Bad's forces. They're not really Always Chaotic Evil, as most of them are barely sentient and not really qualified to make moral judgments in the first place. Their same general body type comes in two other sizes as well—Hloks are human-sized and much more intelligent, filling the hobgoblin/orc niche, and Trolls are about twelve feet tall and immensely strong, though just as stupid as their tiny cousins. | |

In Changeling: The Dreaming, on the other hand, the closest thing to goblins are the Nocker kith, wiry and foul-mouthed individuals with a tendency towards mad science (and Explosive Instrumentation). In folklore "nockers" or "knockers" are more or less the same as kobolds. Goblins later appeared as their own race, one of the Thallain, and part of the Shadow Court. They have the unique ability called "Mayhem" that lets them make improbably destructive weapons out of just about anything. | |

The goblins in Goblin Commander were created by a wizard for the sole purpose of constructing a Great Machine, whose function they do not clearly understand. They come in five subraces, with different jobs: the Stonekrusher clan mines metals for the machine, the Hellfire clan harvests wood for the machine, the Stormbringer clan researches magic and energy for the machine, the Plaguespitter clan grows poisonous herbs to fuel the machine, and the Nighthorde clan's purpose is unclear until late in the game. | |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "The Magic Coins, Part 2", while crossing the Jewel Desert, Megan and the ponies are ambushed by a group of aggressive goblins. These are depicted as squat, blue-skinned, long-armed and neckless humanoids, and are terrified of bright lights. "The Golden Horseshoes, Part 2" has some very different goblins. The ones encountered here are large, burly green humanoids who tower over Megan, and tend to be ugly and deformed in various unique ways — one has three short horns and flat-topped head, another has flabby wide lips, and a third has an almost beak-like snout. They live underground and are greedy, hostile and argumentative beings, stealing from others and refusing to ever give anything away. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: They aren't actually called goblins, but the diamond dogs fit the niche to a T. They seem to come in sizes tiny and huge (well, huge compared to a pony) but are all hunched over and fanged, talk with a hissing, Gollum-esque inflection, live underground, wear utilitarian metal armor and carry weapons, mine heavily, and are quick to abduct surface creatures. |

Franklin: The goblin in the The Quest of the Green Knight story from "Franklin and the Green Knight" is called a goblin but really doesn't look or behave much like a traditional goblin at all, other than being somewhat on the small side. He is rescued from a traditional-looking griffin by the Green Knight, after which he gives him advice on how to find the object of his search: cherry blossoms that can bring spring. Appearance-wise, if anything, he looks like some sort of buck-toothed, long-tailed anthropomorphic rodent. | |

Bedtime Stories (YouTube Channel): The "Kentucky Goblins" two-parter detailed the titular creatures of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter and other strange beings that may in fact be the same. Unlike the traditional goblin, these creatures appear to be aliens. Part 2 suggests they're in fact The Greys and that features such as the giant ears are actually part of a helmet. | |

The goblins from Harry Potter are diminutive characters with long hands and long feet who maintain the bank and mint of the British wizard community. They're slightly friendlier than most other goblin examples listed here, and as Professor Flitwick shows are capable of interbreeding with humans. History classes suggest the past was filled with bloody wars between wizards and goblins until the two sides arrived at some sort of lasting accord, which, combined with goblin society having a very different concept of ownership than wizarding society (the right to a manufactured good remains with the manufacturer; any exchange of money for possession of a goblin-made object is therefore a lifetime rental, not a permanent transfer of ownership), has left both wizards and goblins convinced the other are perfidious thieves by nature. This causes problems at a crucial moment of the final book, when some goblins with whom Harry and co. had made a deal decide the terms have been met by the stingiest definition possible and try to forcibly repossess the sword of the centuries-dead Godric Gryffindor. | |

"Goblin Market" is a long, long, long Narrative Poem by Christina Rossetti where the goblins are merchants who offer lavishly-described fruit to humans. One of the main characters eats some and starts to waste away, human food being no good to her any more. One interpretation is that the goblins represent foreigners, polluting the innocent with their eeeevil trade and cosmopolitanism; another is that the poem is a Coming of Age Story about a girl's sexual awakening. | |

Goblins in The Dresden Files, at least the ones under the Erlking are not unintelligent cannon fodder — they're professional hunters and warriors, and have abilities that make Harry compare them to "...ninjas. From Krypton". At one point they get the drop on an entire Red Court vampire commando team and take them down without making a sound. Of course basically any supernatural entity in the series is a lot stronger and faster than a normal human, Goblins, especially in numbers, do not seem to be something anyone wants to deal with. | |

Discworld: Unseen Academicals establishes goblins as a distinct—and extremely rare—species, similar in appearance to small and odd-looking humans. The only known literature about them is the anthropological text Five Hours and Sixteen Minutes Among the Goblins of Far Uberwald, which according to the author was five hours too long. Incidentally, orcs are introduced in the same novel, but are something else entirely (despite which, humans tend to confuse them). They are elaborated further in Snuff where they are presented as an entire race of Woobies, forced on the edges wherever they go, classified as vermin or property by law in most of the world. They are extremely skilled craftsmen in a very narrow field of making delicate, ornate pots, and they also demonstrate an unexpected skill for stunningly beautiful music and, as of Raising Steam, pretty much anything involving fine detail as well becoming a fixture on the clacks and the new trains. They even build their own underground steam engine, and invent the bicycle.The pots are extremely important to what is essentially their religion and entire culture all in one, being something made by a magical process out of anything handy that can't be replicated by non-goblins. The religion is founded on the notion that if one's body is a temple then the things that come out of it are holy, and thus the pots are used to store things like snot and nail clippings; this has given them a reputation for being unpleasantly obsessed with all things nasty and unhygienic. It should be noted that Discworld cover artist Paul Kidby draws Pratchett's goblins to bear a striking resemblance to the Gremlins of the 1984 movie directed by Joe Dante. In a meta sense, gremlins are what the humans of the Discworld imagine the goblins to be like. This might be a deliberate attempt to depict a race of beings whose physical appearance inspires an immediate sense of disgust rather than sympathy, which the reader - along with the human characters- must learn how to overcome. |

In Final Fantasy XIV Goblins are portrayed as widespread and somewhat nomadic due to losing their original homeland. They're considered hoarders, but also engineering geniuses; building intricate forges, crafting bombs (which are safer for the user than the more volatile variants made by the Kobolds), being experts in creating and melding Materia, and crafting and various tools and environments which occasionally push the fantasy setting all the way into Steampunk. They are perhaps the most integrated Beastman race with the spoken races (second possibly only to the Moogles). There's also the Illuminati, a sect of goblins obsessed with hoarding technology for themselves and relentlessly hunt down anyone who may try to share any of their findings with the other races, even the culinary sciences. | |

The Embodiment of Sins: The goblins in this series behave more like stereotypical orcs: they're roughly human-sized Proud Warrior Race Guys who follow the strongest of them and violently pillage human settlements for loot, which they view as The Right of a Superior Species. Physically they're green-skinned humanoids with long ears and noses and eyes with horizontal slit pupils. They also never stop growing throughout their lives, which they group in life stages: from birth, "Toh-Yhul" to about age 40, Saht-Ria, they're similar in size to humans, but Bah-Rin (age 41-80) go up to twice the size of humans, Rah-Jha are triple the size, and Rah-Saksha are taller than a tree. | |

Griswold the Goblin: The titular Griswold is your regular run-of-the-mill green-skinned goblin with pointy ears, a big nose, and an eye for valuables. He's out on adventures to seek valuables, helping many people along the way and running into new adventures and minigames along the way. He also has a habit of occasionally farting and scratching his butt. There's another goblin named Gavin, also fitting Griswold's description, who kidnaps local store owner Oscar (planning to sell him along with everything else in his store that the former took over) and has quite the soft spot for his elusive chicken, chasing him throughout the series. |

Overlord (2012): Goblins are described as being like a cross between humans and apes. Goblins here are the standard vicious little bastards who can only deal damage in great numbers (and accompanied by ogres at that). However, those summoned by YGGDRASSIL's horn (originally a low-level item that summons a small mob of different goblins such as casters, archers, wolf-riders, etc.) are scarily competent, not only an effective guerrilla force in their own right but loyal to their summoner, who end up Training the Peaceful Villagers and helping them build fortifications. We later meet Agu, who belongs to the hobgoblin subspecies. They're Caucasian instead of green, smarter, more articulate and physically better than regular goblins. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In Middle-earth, the word "goblin" is just the English translation for "orc" ("orc" being a Hobbit and Rohirric rendering of the Elvish orch), and the two are used interchangeably in The Lord of the Rings. In the Author's Note to The Hobbit, Tolkien specifically says, "Orc is not an English word. It appears one or two times but is usually translated goblin (or hobgoblin for the larger kinds). Orc is the hobbits' form of the name given at that time to these creatures..." (he later ruefully added that he looked up the etymology of "hobgoblin" again and found it in fact implied smaller goblin or other mischievous creature). This can be seen in the early drafts of The Silmarillion (The Book of Lost Tales), where all the beings referred to in later drafts as "orcs" are still referred to as "goblins". That said, fans tend to use the term "goblin" to refer specifically to the Orcs of the Misty Mountain, since that subrace features most predominately in The Hobbit, which mostly uses the term "goblin" instead of "orc". Tolkien's orcs, in fact, very closely resemble common modern fantasy goblins (far more so than common fantasy orcs) as they're a fast-breeding, wretched, violent race that are individually small, cowardly, and weak (among other things: 4-foot Hobbits can consistently disguise themselves as Orcs, Gimli prefers to fight Orcs instead of Men because the latter have what he deems an unfair size advantage, and "a huge Orc chieftain" is described as "nearly Man-high") but make up for it with overwhelming numbers and a surprising amount of craftiness in both dirty battle tactics and combat engineering. The modern orc most likely took inspiration from the Uruk-hai, who were taller, stronger, braver, and rumored to have some human ancestry. | |

Goblins in The Order of the Stick are different from goblins in standard Dungeons & Dragons, being medium sized as opposed to small. There are also the orange-skinned hobgoblins, many of whom were recruited to serve in the villains' army during the Battle of Azure City. The two subraces have not gotten along very well historically, but this is something that they have been trying to remedy or at least hide away as part of Redcloak's attempts to create to create a unified goblinoid nation. There are also bugbears, large and hairy goblinoids that live in the far north and are often ignored by other goblinoids and the goblin god alike. |

Skyrim instead has the Falmer in this role, crossing over with Morlocks. The Falmer were once the graceful Snow Elves, close relatives of the Altmer (High Elves). However, an ancient war with the ancestors of the Nords brought down their civilization and nearly drove their race to extinction. In desperation, some turned to their Dwemer cousins for aid. The Dwemer took them in, but on the condition that they eat toxic fungi which blinded and mutated the Falmer into the barely sapient, goblin-like creatures they are today. | |

Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game introduced hobgoblins to Azeroth long before they existed in the video game continuity. Here, they were depicted as goblins subjected to an alchemical "augmentation" that transformed them into hulking brutes favored as bodyguards and soldiers with vastly enhanced strength and toughness, but diminished brainpower. These hobgoblins look like giant purple-skinned goblins with claws who secrete acid from their skin. | |

In Xanth, goblin males are ugly, rude, cruel, and stupid due to a curse by the harpies that made their females prefer goblins of that type and subsequent natural selection. Their females are essentially the opposite. The curse is eventually lifted and the normal selection pressures result in their breeding back to their ancestors, effectively ceasing to exist as goblins. This is shown as a good thing. | |

Iron Kingdoms: Multiple different breeds of goblin, or goblin-like creature anyway, show up. Gobbers, the "standard" goblin of the setting, are a widely spread, intelligent and peaceful (for the most part) race that can be found all over Immoren, often becoming traders, alchemists and mekaniks. Boggers, a larger and more aggressive strain of the Gobber race, are more hostile towards other races, but are territorial rather than outright malevolent. Pygmy Trolls, or "Pygs", are the Trollkin equivalent of goblins, being small, weak versions of the common Trollkin who are fully aware of their puny physiques and so compensate for it with brains; they form the most adept gunners, scouts and ambushers of the Trollblood forces. Skorne, the setting's equivalent of hobgoblins, are a distinctly Asiatic-looking race of Lean and Mean human-sized Hordes from the East who shun religion, believe in The Nothing After Death, and have a Proud Warrior Race culture backed up by a unique form of pain-fueled Blood Magic. |

Warcraft goblins are smaller than orcs, but also have some knowledge of technology, particularly that which explodes. They first showed up in WarCraft II as the inventors of the Horde. They were characterized by their suicidal insanity and seem to be fighting for kicks. In WarCraft III goblins left the Horde, becoming a neutral force (they sell items and utilitarian mercenaries). They also gained a greedy side and more self-preservation tendencies, though some still were completely insane. By World of Warcraft they have been developed into their own culture and society that is concentrated within a dozen or so businesses. They are hedonistic, materialistic, mercenary and commercialized, with a fascination with nice gadgets (until they blow up) and a dog-eat-dog social structure. Kind of like living in Atlantic City under Mob rule, but on steroids. The lore later established that goblins started out a bit more like goblins of old, dumb as a stump and used for dumb muscle. They were a slave race used by trolls native to Kezan, but the Kaja'mite the trolls had the goblins mine mutated them over time, making them intelligent and allowing them to overthrow their troll lords and become the bastards we know and love. Hobgoblins made their official debut in the Cataclysm expansion, appearing as large go-fers and worker bees resembling ogres. Goblins themselves usually refer to them as brutes and look unkindly upon them. The other races have taken to calling them Lumbering Oafs and the name has started to stick, even in official ability text. A new variant of goblins, gilgoblins (also nicknamed "gilblins"), was also introduced in Cataclysm. Gilgoblins are an aquatic subspecies with fins and the ability to breathe underwater. By Battle for Azeroth, they are characterized by being diametrically opposed to the normal goblins, being level-headed, altruistic, and communal, instead of reckless, only out for themselves, and greedy. Sadly, they frequently also suffer as a Slave Race, this time to the Naga. |

Exalted: Hobgoblins are the least of The Fair Folk, serving their more elegant kin and creators as footsoldiers, raiders and servants, although the Fair Ones' retreat from Creation after their failed invasion left many hobgoblin bands stranded in pockets of Wyld energies and cut off from the rest of Fair Folk society. They're always monstrous and misshapen in appearance, although beyond this their shapes can vary wildly based on their makers' whims or the dominant elemental influences of the areas where they make their home — hobgoblins in the swamps of the South may take the form of dark, red-eyed stalkers in the fog, while ones from the Northern snows may bear thick coats of white hair and long ivory tusks. | |

Overlord: Though not specifically identified as such, the minions fit the goblin archetype quite well, being an Always Lawful Evil species that gleefully follow the titular Evil Overlord. They are split between four tribes, each having their own skills. Although still ugly, their simple-minded loyalty and eagerness to smash and put things on their heads give them an Ugly Cute quality. In the first game a member of the Order of the Red Dawn actually refers to them as goblins when explaining to the titular character why he will not be let inside their "establishment". Notably, despite all of the above evidence indicating the minions to be goblins, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil lists a "Goblin Helm" as a cosmetic item with the description saying that it was taken from a dead goblin. This at least implies that there are a race of goblins separate from the minions (though apparently minions and goblins are enough alike to be able to wear the same equipment). |

In Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic, goblins are not considered truly Evil by most other monsters; they're only just "sorta bad" (It can be argued that they lack the mental capacity). Gren Razortooth is the principal goblin character, who has been cast out by the rest of her clan after falling in love with Bob the Beholder. | |

Labyrinth features goblins as its villains. Most of them are straight examples of the trope, except the Goblin King, who looks like... well, David Bowie. Probably why fanon almost universally maintains that Jareth is a fairy, that and he fits the profile extraordinarily well. (An alternative fanon explanation is that Jareth is, basically, the previous Toby. This is seemingly confirmed in Labyrinth: Coronation by Simon Spurrier, although Spurrier says the book is non-canon and has an Unreliable Narrator). | |

Conker's Bad Fur Day has goblins called goblings as common enemies and NPCs. The first variation is water gobling, a green goblin that is found near water and wears a spiked ball for armor. The second kind are trash talking goblins made out of fire. The next two are a friendly lizard like monk goblin and an allied purple goblin who unknowingly wears a pack of TnT on his back. An unnamed, invincible, flamethrower-using gobling is also present in one level. | |

Cursed Princess Club: Princess Gwendolyn is a subversion. Her green hair and skin, pointy ears, Scary Teeth, and overall inhuman appearance strongly evoke a classical goblin. But despite looking so inexplicably different from her siblings (two Princess Classic sisters and a Pretty Boy brother), there's no indication that she's anything but human. Plus, she's a Nice Girl who completely lacks the evil or mischievous attributes of typical goblins. With that said, she does occasionally get mistaken for a goblin by people who don't know her well (whenever they aren't mistaking her for a Witch Classic). Played straight with the goblin who cursed Saffron. He was a classical green-skinned, pointy eared, diminutive goblin who was also an Evil Sorcerer to boot. He attempted a Grand Theft Me on Saffron, but the spell didn't work as planned and instead gave the prince an Evil Hand (one with a knobby and discolored appearance resembling a goblin hand). |

Unseen Academicals establishes goblins as a distinct—and extremely rare—species, similar in appearance to small and odd-looking humans. The only known literature about them is the anthropological text Five Hours and Sixteen Minutes Among the Goblins of Far Uberwald, which according to the author was five hours too long. Incidentally, orcs are introduced in the same novel, but are something else entirely (despite which, humans tend to confuse them). | |

Pathfinder: There are goblins and many off-shoots. Goblins are dangerously stupid pyromaniacs who loathe dogs and horses (the feeling is mutual), are terrified of writing (it can steal your soul!), and sing horrible merry songs about eating babies. They also have a subrace called "monkey goblins" who use their hand-like feet and prehensile, rat-like tails to live an arboreal life. They serve as the franchise's Mascot Mook, and are included among the base playable races of Second Edition alongside the traditional humans, elves, dwarves and half-elves and half-orcs, which operate under the assumption that players are taking the role of one of a small but growing minority of goblins who are attempting to integrate more into civilization. Hobgoblins are as militaristic as the Dungeons & Dragons norm but are so universally ambitious that they can't hold an army together for long, being an entire race of Starscreams. Despite this, two hobgoblin nations exist, although both are fairly recent. Kaoling, in Tian Xia, was established following the collapse of the empire of Lung Wa a century or so before the setting's present time, and is known for its incredibly treacherous and cutthroat politics; Oprak, in the Mindspin Mountains of the primary setting, is established after the events of the Ironfang Invasion adventure path as a homeland for hobgoblins in particular and monster races in general, and is held together by the iron will of its ruler, General Azaersi. Bugbears are psychotic Serial Killers who live for the smell of fear and are unnervingly good at hiding in places nothing that huge should be able to fit... like behind your door or under your bed. The kijimunas of Tien-Ma, which appear in the Jade Regent adventure path, are red-headed, very human-looking goblins who inhabit coasts and rivers. Absent-minded practical jokesters, they love to fish and play pranks and would probably be written off as harmless, if annoying, goofballs were it not for the fact that their tricks can lead to injuries or even death. Fortunately, they don't usually intend to kill people (corpses are boring; you can't play tricks on a corpse), and they actually have a well-earned reputation for supplying food to villages suffering from famine. Like regular goblins, they have an irrational attitude towards a specific race of animals, which in their case manifests as a deep fear of octopuses — though they're not very fond of spiders, either. They're actually based on a real Japanese youkai. Grindylows, meanwhile, are basically aquatic goblins that mingle a blue-skinned goblin with an octopus, mermaid style, though they're considered aberrations rather than goblinoids. They love octopi, but possess the typical goblin antipathy for a certain animal species-in this case, squids. Goblins and hobgoblins are both statted as playable races, and balanced against humans. Which means that competent members of their kind make capable adventurers... or enemies that can wreak havoc on a party that underestimates them. Outside of the true goblinoids, there are a number of fey creatures inspired by folkloric goblins, such as the small, pathetic mites and the murderous redcaps who stain their hats red with the blood of their victims. |

The Gremlins of the Gremlins films are basically goblins, though with a very odd life cycle (start off as a fuzzy creature, mutate into a green-skinned furless creature if they eat after midnight, reproduce spontaneously if exposed to water...). The Gremlin is a folkloric creature dating back to at least World War II. It jams guns, pokes holes in radiator hoses, tears engine gaskets, and performs other acts of technological sabotage. Gremlins feature in several Bugs Bunny propaganda shorts from the era. | |

Dwarf Fortress goblins are vicious brutes that attempt to snatch babies, besiege fortresses, and generally cause mayhem and consternation to an ill-prepared fortress. They are ostensibly the evil race in Dwarf Fortress, although dwarves under the player's control are often even worse. They're notably biologically immortal and have no need for water or food, which means only disease and violence can kill them. Notable for their Equal-Opportunity Evil; stolen babies are raised as goblins, with no prejudice against them, and it's not unheard of for "goblin" civilizations to have only a handful of "true" goblins alongside a majority of culturally-goblin snatched babies and their descendants. As admirers of power and supernatural ability, they are most often found ruled by demons in all but very young worlds. In fact it's heavily implied that goblins are a sort of 'lesser demon' race, since worlds generated without demons will also lack Goblins...on the surface, and instead replace demons in the Underworld. | |

The Haunted Mansion and the Hatbox Ghost Fan Verse takes a mention of "goblins and ghoulies" in canon, a Marc Davis sketch of a short chicken-footed ghost, and rolls with it. Harking back to the original medieval goblins, these goblins are a type of spirits (though they do have the 'deformed little humanoid' look when visible). They are very mischievous and are a level under demons. | |

The Iron Teeth's main protagonist is Blacknail the goblin. In this setting goblins are common animals with enough intelligence to develop crude language and be trained. They are sneaky and mischievous and often blamed for stealing things. They aren't big enough to threaten people normally but can be dangerous when in large packs or if their prey is weak or wounded. When goblins eat enough and feel safe they evolve in hobgoblins. Hobgoblins are smart, vicious, and don't play well with others. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The various Blins play with this in various ways: The Legend of Zelda describes Moblins as goblins with bulldog heads (although they have pig heads in the newer games). While most are just generic monsters, a few have defined personalities. Most of the Moblin characters are comical Card Carrying Villains. A friendly Moblin in the first Zelda is known for the phrase "IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY". Notably as the series continued Moblins began to become more orc or even ogre-like. So the smaller Bokoblins (which first appear in The Wind Waker) were brought in to fill the goblin role instead. They typically have hunched statures and large, pointed ears, and are usually on the weaker end of enemy progression. Another branch of the family is introduced in Twilight Princess called the Bulblins. Basically they're the smaller variety of their King Mook, King Bulblin. They don't seem to be too different from the Bokoblins aside from being green, riding pigs and dressing in black. Miniblins are the smallest members of the Blin species. They're little gremlins with pitchforks who make a weird honking noise often in unison. And infinitely respawn. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom adds another blin to the family. The Horriblin seems to be an even more goblin like varient. They're subterranean or cave dweling which hints to a tolkienesque aversion to sunlight. And rather than the pig-like snouts of the other blins in this game and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild the Horriblin has a far more goblin like face. Some games have the lesser-known Goriyas, dog-headed goblins who wield boomerangs in battle. Introduced in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, the Minish are diminutive, magically-inclined, long-eared creatures very similar to the traditional folklore hobgoblins. Unlike Blins, most Minish are docile and peaceful, if unwilling to engage with wider human societies. |

The Goblin Hollow features goblins that are small, fuzzy, have enormous pointy ears, improbably small functional wings, and are (though it's not obvious in the black and white strip) bright green. They are also capable of turning selectively invisible (though this can be thwarted by either an infrared camera, or blacklight, which makes them glow), and of teleporting (or "poiting" as they call it). Their lifecycle is similar to that of a cuckoo: after the female goblin lays her eggs, they will leave them either where an ideal "goblin parent" will find them or in close proximity to them. The unborn goblin basically reads the mind of whomever is near the egg: first their mother, then their "adoptive parent", absorbing knowledge and adding them to their own goblin race memories so that they are basically born full grown, mentally and physically. They are VERY loyal to their adoptive "parents" and will accompany and protect them throughout life... though their mischief often makes their foster parent wish they weren't QUITE so doting. | |

Explored by JoCat in his Crap Guide to Goblins, discussing and illustrating several variations. His particular take on them, called Craplins, is the 'low level cannon fodder that happens to be adorable' type, falling squarely into Mascot Mook territory, complete with plushies. | |

Runescape: There are two main types of goblins — surface goblins and cave goblins. Green surface goblins are less intelligent than pale green cave goblins. It turns out that surface goblins' lower intelligence is because of their lifestyle, not their natural intelligence which reaches human level. Surface goblins are considered pests by humans, and if there are humans, goblins are not far away. Goblin bands will usually raid remote dwellings, but shortly before the events of the game they invaded Lumbridge and killed many of its residents. This gave rise to a group, Humans Against Monsters, which seeks to exterminate all goblins. Goblins always work in groups. Hobgoblins are present too, although in here, they're the result of goblin and ork interbreeding. Hobgoblins are less civilized than goblins. Goblins were natives of the plane of Yu'biusk, a fey like place. However, during the God Wars, they were pulled off of it, and Yu'buisk was brought to ruin by Bandos, god of war, whom they served (and refer to as "big high war god"). After the wars, the influence of Bandos faded and they began to fight amongst themselves with no stronger ruler. |

Many goblins, like those in Final Fantasy XI, are perfectly willing to sell their mother for a nickel. The Moblins of Vana'diel, however, seem more in line with a religious sect than anything else. A Steampunk sect, mind you. In the early Final Fantasy games, goblins were little ugly humanoids with knives who existed to give Level 1 Adventurers their very first experience points. Something either goblin-like or named a Goblin appears in pretty much every installment in the series. They are known for the "Goblin Punch" attack (usually falling under Blue Magic) which traditionally does weak physical damage with a powerful bonus if the attacker and target are the same level. In the Final Fantasy XIII games, goblins and their ilk appear to be cyborgs of some sort, with large metal weights for hands, wheels for feet, and a massive hole in the middle of their body. In Final Fantasy XIV Goblins are portrayed as widespread and somewhat nomadic due to losing their original homeland. They're considered hoarders, but also engineering geniuses; building intricate forges, crafting bombs (which are safer for the user than the more volatile variants made by the Kobolds), being experts in creating and melding Materia, and crafting and various tools and environments which occasionally push the fantasy setting all the way into Steampunk. They are perhaps the most integrated Beastman race with the spoken races (second possibly only to the Moogles). There's also the Illuminati, a sect of goblins obsessed with hoarding technology for themselves and relentlessly hunt down anyone who may try to share any of their findings with the other races, even the culinary sciences. |

In Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, it is posited by Harry that goblins are just humans under a sort of inherited genetic curse and not, lamentably, an incredibly valuable second data point for the origin of intelligent life. (This is, however, never confirmed in the story, leaving Epileptic Trees to grow). | |

Goblins in Kill Six Billion Demons are very different; they’re a (vaguely) batlike race who have no eyes and see through smell and echolocation. They were originally created to clean and maintain Throne’s numerous sewers and waterways, but ever since the deaths of the gods, they’ve grown into a Proud Merchant Race with their own clan-based society that founded the first guilds. They have three biological sexes, but asking a goblin their gender is considered very offensive for reasons known only to them. They’re also explicitly not Always Chaotic Evil; the main goblin our heroes interact with, Omun Vash, is a crime boss, but most others are shown living normal lives. They're not really small either, with most being more or less human-sized. The above-mentioned Omun Vash is closer to typical goblin size, but again, he’s pretty clearly an outlier and seems to have the goblin equivalent of dwarfism, judging by his proportions. | |

Roommates is a Mega Crossover prominently featuring Labyrinth so Jareth is the King of the Goblins, he is also called the King of the Unwanted, which means goblin is a catch all term for all creatures no other supernatural ruler would take (the stupid, the weak, the weird, the slow, etc. up to the dangerously unstable, which is Jareth himself). They are also indestructible as it's part of the very concept they personify. It's also revealed that this wasn't always the case, because magical rulers are Fisher Kings. Under his predecessor the Goblins were basically The Fair Folk just uglier, and under their first king little more than Always Chaotic Evil monsters. |

Godforsaken: Hederar are goblin-like humanoids native to the Comerelk jungle, small of size and selfish of spirit. They dress in furs and skins, and use crude tools and weapons of sharpened wood or stone. They eat flesh and greedily lust after shiny treasures of any kind. They live in small, wandering bands and sometimes capture and force other creatures, like wolves or hyenas, to serve them. They also each have a unique, and mostly random, magical ability that they can innately access. | |

The Hétszűnyű Kapanyányimonyók or Kapanyelű Facika from Son of the White Horse, based on Hungarian folklore, is a small, mischievous, and insanely powerful entity, seemingly made of clouds and lightning — and, in a twist not taken from folklore, is actually God in disguise. While alternatively called "Seven Winged Skull-Size Gnome" or "Seven Hearted Lobahobgoblin" in English, its archaic name actually means something like "Seven Cubit Beard and Skull-Sized Egg/Testicle", with his alternative name meaning "Hoe-Handle Sized Dick". The film mercifully focuses only on the size of his beard. | |

Goblins are basic troops in a few Heroes of Might and Magic games, usually aligned with the barbarian factions. In Heroes of Might and Magic V they're pretty much a race of Butt Monkeys, prone to cowardice, often used as sacrifices for the orc shamans, and a source of both food and ammunition for the cyclops. They also show up as a playable race in Might and Magic VII. They're roughly the size of a human, a bit dumb (though not excessively so—most of the goblin NPCs show no sign of being dumber than the average human NPC), and while most of the non-player (both monster mobs and actual characters) goblins are bad guys, or at least vaguely aligned with the bad guys, nothing hinders player goblins from aligning with the other side. |

Dragon's Crown, Goblins, while small and physically weak, are culturally advanced enough to use magic and create things like weapons, armor, and bombs. They usually serve as the Mooks of the orcs, though the art book mentions that this is just what they want everyone to think. They're also technologically advanced enough to design a massive Cool Airship and continuously rebuild the Gargoyle Gate after your character destroys it. Also, while they're very aggressive, they are more than willing to ally with other species, including humans, when it benefits them. This was the case with Lima Ray the Witch, who they actually worshiped as a living goddess after she helped them against elf persecution, which led to the glory days of the goblins when they caused mayhem all around with the help of her powerful magic. | |

As such they have roots growing out of their heads which become longer and more plentiful as they get older. They're also a One-Gender Race that reproduces asexually by planting a tree deep inside a dungeon and then watering it with human blood until young goblins sprout beneath. | |

The goblins in Dragon Mango are small, green comic-relief villains who raid nearby farms for chickens and get beaten up by the titular protagonist. They are ruled by Junior, the goblin king who does not look like David Bowie (this is lampshaded at one point) but is considerably bigger, buffer and tougher than his kin. (He uses steroids). They later pull a Heel–Face Turn when they realize that humans are willing to give them chickens and anything else they want in exchange for some of their Worthless Yellow Rocks they have all over their mountain kingdom, and eventually found a powerful bank and get accepted among the civilized people. | |

Troll 2, which has nothing to do with Troll and has no trolls in it, is about goblins in a town known as Nilbog. They are evil vegetarians who can disguise themselves as humans, which they like doing to trick people into consuming some kind of creepy green stuff that turns them into piles of spinach, so that the vegetarian goblins can eat them. The goblins are portrayed by little people wearing potato sacks and masks, which come in a total of three different designs, one of which is hilariously bug-eyed. They also fight with fishing spears, even when they're trying to hunt people. | |

In Age of Wonders, goblins generally have cheap and weak units that make up for their weaknesses using poison. They are a filthy and evil race that prefers the underground, and they love to cause destruction and chaos even if it means they have to blow themselves up while doing it. They also have a twisted sense of aesthetics, as they hate the smell of perfumes, and try to stink up their caverns as much as possible by means such as wearing old socks as long as possible. Also, one goblin hero's profile describes her as a magic user who is skilled in altering her appearances, and she chose a form most hideous and repulsive to other goblins to strike fear into them. She happens to look like a slightly funny-looking little girl. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The series in general has Goblins which are a primitive and violent humanoid race found across Tamriel and Akavir. They have a primitive language and tribal social structure, and worship a god known as "Muluk", who is theorized to be the Daedric Prince Malacath. Depending on the tribe, they may be led by a Warlord (also known as Warchiefs, typically the biggest and strongest Goblin in the tribe) or by a magic-using shaman (who can be male or female). They frequently come into conflict with any other races they cross paths with, though have been known to live peacefully with the Orcs. They are also frequently enslaved by other races to serve as labor. There are numerous varieties of Goblin, with some regional differences. On average, they stand 3-5 feet tall, though historically, a race of giant Goblins native to the Alik'r Desert in Hammerfell stood over 8 feet tall. They typically have green-skin, yellow eyes with slitted pupils, a hunched-over posture which sometimes includes a full blown hunchback, pointed ears, and fangs. Though significantly less intelligent than the Men, Mer, and Beast Races of Tamriel, Goblins do show some signs of intelligence. They are known to farm creatures in a primitive fashion, including Tamriel's Rodents of Unusual Size as a food source and giant spiders as beasts of battle. They re also known to salvage weapons, armor, and other items created by the other races for their own use. Goblins have appeared in almost every game in the series including Arena, Morrowind (only in the Tribunal expansion), Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls Online, and the spin-off Action-Adventure game Redguard. Skyrim instead has the Falmer in this role, crossing over with Morlocks. The Falmer were once the graceful Snow Elves, close relatives of the Altmer (High Elves). However, an ancient war with the ancestors of the Nords brought down their civilization and nearly drove their race to extinction. In desperation, some turned to their Dwemer cousins for aid. The Dwemer took them in, but on the condition that they eat toxic fungi which blinded and mutated the Falmer into the barely sapient, goblin-like creatures they are today. The Rieklings of Solstheim are small, Ugly Cute, blue-skinned humanoids somewhat resembling ice goblins. They have their own primitive society (which includes hoarding the detritus of other races which they then apparently worship), are capable of speaking Tamriellic (though mostly in a You No Take Candle fashion), and have tamed wild boars to ride as mounts. The Nords of Solstheim have long believed that the Rieklings are the descendants of the Snow Elves, but other sources make it clear that they are a unique species in their own right. |

Piratez: Although the mod mostly avoids the term "goblins", they seem to not only be called this (at least sometimes), but they seem to be pretty widespread around the planet. The most obvious goblin group is the Lokk'Naar tribe, which is the most immediate contact for the pirates. It is unclear if they are related to the Ratmen, or if they are mutants at all (as opposed to being an extraterrestrial race, for example). | |

Pokémon: Sableye is a mischievous, cave-dwelling kobold who feeds off of gems. Impidimp, Morgrem, and Grimmsnarl all have the Pointy Ears, Sinister Schnoz, and general mischievous behavior commonly associated with goblins. Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, and Tinkaton look like adorable sprites, but are effectively redcaps in every other way, being ultraviolent dwarven humanoids who love to savagely beat and attempt to murder anyone unlucky enough to encounter them with their hammers. |

In the Legend of the Three Caballeros episode "Stonehenge Your Bets", goblins are green-skinned humanoids, imprisoned in another dimension beneath Stonehenge, who like fighting, building unlikely war-machines, and telenovelas. They look not unlike Creeper from The Black Cauldron, especially the less warlike Worm. | |

The goblins of Far to the North are VERY different. For starters, they're at least seven feet tall, can smell blood, have eyes like hawks, and possibly scales. According to one of the characters they were crafted specifically by dragons to kill Saengorian slavers with their insane archery, so they instantly shoot anything that's male and has dark hair. This becomes a serious problem for the protagonist's half-Saengorian nephew... | |

In Nine Goblins, the goblins have a cohesive society and by default are fairly good-natured, but have been forced to become more warlike in response to their treatment by the other races, who regard them as savages or vermin and have no qualms about annexing their territory. There are some hints of the modern "technical wiz" take on goblins, especially with Murray, who invents, for instance, a basic refrigerator. | |

The one appearance of goblins in the Garrett, P.I. novels was surprisingly peaceful, in that the goblins in question were bounty hunters Garrett paused to chat with in the street. They were searching for a runaway wife, which was their main line of work: in this world, goblin males outnumber females seven to one, and the gobliness had grown sick and tired of over-macho oafs brawling over possession of her. Note that the goblins rode mangy, red-eyed wolves in the middle of a human city, without rousing any disturbance, thus both adhering to and subverting their usual LotR image. | |

In the early Final Fantasy games, goblins were little ugly humanoids with knives who existed to give Level 1 Adventurers their very first experience points. Something either goblin-like or named a Goblin appears in pretty much every installment in the series. They are known for the "Goblin Punch" attack (usually falling under Blue Magic) which traditionally does weak physical damage with a powerful bonus if the attacker and target are the same level. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Goblins, most often present as the standard fantasy breed of diminutive, destructive green-skinned and big-eared humanoids, are the characteristic creature — a creature type that shows up multiple times each set as several smaller common creature cards — of Red, the color of chaos, emotions and impulsive behavior. They're not evil, though, just rowdy and destructive, and serve as the game's comic relief race. Goblins from early sets tend to be portrayed as much more dangerous and malicious than in their later portrayals. The goblins of Terisiare, in particular, waged a long series of wars against the continent's human kingdoms during the period of cooling temperatures and dwindling civilization covered in The Dark. The Terisiarean goblins also include a couple of distinct sub-breeds in the form of Marsh Goblins, bald and floppy-eared goblins with short tails that even other goblins shun "thanks to certain unwholesome customs they practice", and Scarwood Goblins, a larger and more cunning kind only found in certain deep forests. Most worlds' goblins fit this schema fairly closely, including those of Dominaria, the setting's main universe, as well as those of the City Planet Ravnica and the metallic world of Mirrodin... before it was destroyed by the Phyrexians, anyway. Many other worlds, however, have rather more unusual goblins: Rath has Moggs, a genetically engineered strain of goblin which is larger, stronger and has a distinctive ridge on its head. They're still not very intelligent, though. The Kyren goblins of Mercadian Masques were inversions of the normal stupid headstrong goblin: They are the true rulers of Mercadia. They're actually more evil than most other MtG goblins. The Akki of the Japanese mythology-influenced plane Kamigawa are based on the kappa of Japanese folklore. In fact, the concept has often been described as "fire kappa". In the Time Skip between original Kamigawa block and Neon Dynasty, they've acquired a bit of a Mad Scientist streak along with a fondness for Tim Taylor Technology (as pictured in the page image). Lorwyn boggarts are more adventuresome and intelligent than most, but have a total lack of care for life—their own or others'. Shadowmoor boggarts are nearly mindless eating machines. Shadowmoor also has hobgoblins, who are basically angry hobbits with fangs; spriggans, sizeshifters who can turn from weedy runts into towering colossi; murderous redcaps; and stream hoppers, bizarre creatures with a single leg, arm, and eye. All are classified as goblins in the game. Goblins on the Alaran shard of Jund are ratlike creatures who simply live to be eaten by the dragons that dominate the shard. Fiora's goblins are slightly larger than goblins on other worlds, with hunched backs and the males usually sporting beards. They're actually fairly smart when allowed to be, but are treated as a Fantastic Underclass by the humans of Paliano. Tarkir's goblins are hairy, aggressive and dim little critters who are primarily associated with the Mardu Horde. There's a variant breed with white hair who dwell in the snowy areas that serve as home to the Temur, but the majority of goblins are either Mardu or neutral. Ixalan's goblins, in keeping with the Age of Sail/New World theme of the set, more greatly resemble monkeys, are covered in fur, and have prehensile tails. They are still mischievous and are mostly pirates. Lost Caverns of Ixalan also introduces Deep Goblins, an unrelated species of anglerfish-like Morlocks. Despite their scary appearances and affinity for Black mana, they live largely peaceably among the Malamet, though neither have much love for surface-dwellers. Eldraine, a plane inspired by Arthurian myths and the tales of the brothers Grimm, is home to redcaps much like Shadowmoor is — in this case, they're vicious, barbaric wilderness-dwellers who were chased out of civilized lands long ago, dye their hats with the blood of their victims and ride giant weasels. In terms of actual gameplay, most Magic goblins are small, cheap creatures that lend themselves well to Zerg Rush tactics or to use as convenient sacrificial fodder. Some even come with relevant abilities built right in. |

Ravenloft has "goblyns", humans transformed by a curse or spell into scaly, fanged brutes who unquestioningly obey the evil master who transformed them. Gremishkas, furry snarling pests resembling rabid monkeys, are more animalistic than either goblyns or goblins, but match the fairy-tale "goblin" concept, being small aggressive creatures that enjoy thievery and sabotage. | |

Trollhunters: Goblins are herd-based, Gremlins-esque trouble makers from the Darklands. Should any of their kind die, even if the "culprit" didn't actually do it, the Goblins swarm them and issue payback on them "ten-fold". Luckily, they're dumb enough to blame the vehicle if one gets run over, and not the driver. | |

Looming Gaia: Goblins are a sapient race, green, bald, four to five and a half feet tall, and not any more mischievous than any other people. They have a few quirks, though: They never forget anything they learn, they get sick if they eat meat, and if someone who's not a goblin says their full birth name and commands them to do something, they're forced to obey that command. | |

The Legend of Zelda describes Moblins as goblins with bulldog heads (although they have pig heads in the newer games). While most are just generic monsters, a few have defined personalities. Most of the Moblin characters are comical Card Carrying Villains. A friendly Moblin in the first Zelda is known for the phrase "IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY". | |

Spider-Man: The series features a number of villains with goblin motifs (mostly Green Goblins and Hobgoblins). They are usually just super powered humans with gadgets. The only exceptions would be Demogoblin who was a demon that was once bonded to one of the many Hobgoblins and the Ultimate Marvel version of Norman Osborn who could turn into a green brute that bore a closer resemblance to a goblin. | |

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The goblin tribe Rimuru originally meets are short and weak physically like children, though they are intelligent and skilled enough to quickly erect fortifications as well as use basic weapons like spears or bows, and have a fully functional culture and language. After he names them, they transform into "Hobgoblins" and "Goblinas" for male and female respectively, who essentially resemble green-skinned adult humans with developed canines and pointy ears save for the actual children. Except for Gobta, who still appears the same ("My growth was more of a spiritual type!"). Personality-wise, however, they're practically no different from tribal humans who have no issues with coexisting with former enemies in peace, with a fully thriving civilization easily coming into existence under Rimuru's watchful eyes. | |

My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "The Magic Coins, Part 2", while crossing the Jewel Desert, Megan and the ponies are ambushed by a group of aggressive goblins. These are depicted as squat, blue-skinned, long-armed and neckless humanoids, and are terrified of bright lights. "The Golden Horseshoes, Part 2" has some very different goblins. The ones encountered here are large, burly green humanoids who tower over Megan, and tend to be ugly and deformed in various unique ways — one has three short horns and flat-topped head, another has flabby wide lips, and a third has an almost beak-like snout. They live underground and are greedy, hostile and argumentative beings, stealing from others and refusing to ever give anything away. |

Gobblin' focuses entirely on the creatures. They're obnoxious little creatures that are commonly green, but vary in color, size, and shape. They actually have a slow but powerful Healing Factor that lets them reattach or regrow body parts, though the majority of them are unaware of this fact and may flee at the first sign of danger. They were considered annoying and useless (but dangerous) enough to be banished entirely from their universe and dumped into a post-apocalyptic Earth. They happen to love it there and start to rebuild it as their own world. | |

The Chronicles of Aeres has two kinds of goblin. Standard goblins are an Always Chaotic Evil created by literally wringing every last drop of goodness from the soul of a gnome or halfling, creating a feral, barely-sapient creature motivated purely by hate and spite. If they live long enough, they grow into Orcs. In comparison, Drauglirs are gnomes who were mutated by exposure to Black Magic; they're surly, avaricious and have a very "goblinlike" appearance, with sickly green skin and haggard builds, but they're one of the non-evil races of the setting, and hate the Vulgraks for turning them into their new state. Drauglirs are known as master trap-builders, and can also briefly assume a form of living obsidian. | |

Notably, despite all of the above evidence indicating the minions to be goblins, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil lists a "Goblin Helm" as a cosmetic item with the description saying that it was taken from a dead goblin. This at least implies that there are a race of goblins separate from the minions (though apparently minions and goblins are enough alike to be able to wear the same equipment). | |

Warhammer 40,000: Gretchins and Snotlings — collectively called "Grots" — are the setting's version of goblins, being weedier, thinner and shorter relatives of the Orks who are routinely bossed around, kicked, and occasionally used as helpers, ammo caddies, ammo, missile guidance systems, mine-clearing equipment, human... er, Grot shields, practice targets, and emergency food supplies by those same Orks. They are, however, a fair bit more important than that suggests. Gretchin are societal organisers, making sure everything runs okay behind the scenes; Orks are noted many times as not having much energy for anything other than war. During the sporing process, Grots arrive before the Orks, actually making sure the Orks have a society to inhabit when they show up. They are in most part responsible for the entire Orkoid race's domestic and commercial (non-war related) endeavours. There are even Grot entrepreneurs called "Dodgas" who seem to mostly have the talent for ripping off other Orkoids. Grots are rather understated in most Ork fluff, because their importance is less reflected in matters of warfare, and so is unsurprisingly not particularly well explored in 40k. Snotlings also have more importance, although most of it is implied. It seems Snotlings have some use in keeping the Squigs in check, and were at one point originally the most dominant and intelligent part of the race, but are now merely childlike. Of course, there is also the Grot Rebellion... |

Shadowrun: "Goblinization" is the term used for the phenomenon of adults turning into orks or trolls when the metatypes first emerged. Actual goblins are dwarves infected with HMHVV Type I, the virus that turns humans into vampires. Goblins are emaciated, hairless beings with only minimal intelligence, immune to fire and vulnerable to iron. They eat raw meat, often from sapient beings. Hobgoblins are something else entirely, being a regional variant of ork native to the Middle East and Central Asia. Hobgoblins are wirier and skinnier than other orks, have greenish skin tones (orks usually just have human colorations) and solid black eyes, and have a very strong sense of personal honor that demands that they obtain payback for any slight done against them. |

In El Goonish Shive, goblins are not (so far) known to exist. In the RPG from "Who is Ellen?", they were apparently created as a parody of the mortal races, by a god who wanted to "punish their arrogance" by highlighting all their worst traits. They are born with innate abilities in weaponsmithing and, for some reason, cookery (it's speculated that the god meant them to be alchemists). They're also the cannon fodder mooks in the premade scenario Ellen is running, which gives them absolutely no motivation beyond being evil beings who would probably work for a bad guy. (Ellen adjusts this). | |

Banestorm features goblins as short, green humanoids, immigrants from the mostly arid desert world of Gabrook. They are intelligent, civilized and naturally curious, and actually fit well enough into human society. Hobgoblins are their larger, dumber cousins; while a few live among goblins as servants, most remain hunter-gatherers living in small bands in the wilderness. | |

Warhammer: Goblins are small, weak, cowardly and cunning and probably a good deal cleverer than the orcs, having been the ones to come up with catapults and bolt throwers. They are extremely weedy, and as such usually spend their lives being bullied by any Orcs in the area, when they're not simply being bullied by a bigger Gobbo (and that's assuming they don't just knock you over the head and eat you). In Greenskin armies, goblins infantry is largely limited to being cannon fodder and blunting cavalry charges; others act as skirmishing troops and light cavalry, and as the primary beast handlers of the hordes. The main route for advancement among goblins is magic use, as goblin shamans can rise to some considerable prominence even over orcs by using supernatural power to make up for their physical weakness. Additionally the typical goblin has a phobia of elves that's acute enough to affect them in battle. Goblins are very widespread and adaptable, and numerous distinct variants — mostly cultural, but in some cases with clear physical differences as well — exist throughout the world, besides the "common" kind seen alongside Orcs. The Night Goblins are an underground-dwelling sort mostly found deep beneath mountain ranges. They breed mutant (and carnivorous) mobile fungi and ingest magic mushrooms that turn them into frothing, super strong madmen, and are fond of trickery and ambush. They've dwelt underground so long that they find sunlight painfully bright, and always wear distinctive black robes and pointed hoods when aboveground. Forest goblins live deep within the Old World's forests and worship spiders, and frequently turn up riding spiders that range from "wolf" to "townhouse" scale. Hill Goblins, also known as Great Goblins, are unusually large and aggressive Goblins found in hilly areas of the Badlands, and can grow to be almost the size of an Orc. Very early editions include Red Goblins, a particularly evil kind created by ancient wizards as servants and agents. The Red Goblins still follow their ancient masters' goals, although whether these still live isn't known. Snotlings are even smaller, weaker and stupider than other goblins. (An' dat's saying somefing!) They can construct ramshackle steam-powered chariots, and, since the average snotling has a vocabulary of five words and has only just figured out that being kicked hurts, nobody has any idea how they do this. Hobgoblins are a bit like big (human sized) goblins, but are even more deceitful and prone to backstabbing. They have their own civilisation (a Mongol style khanate far to the east of the Old World), but are mostly seen in their role as slave drivers working for the Chaos Dwarfs — which is part of the reason even other greenskins will have nothing to do with them. This is something of a downplay on how they were originally portrayed. In the older hardback book editions, Hobgoblins were not quite as tough as Orcs, but far more disciplined, and not only dressed like Mongols but also rode around on animated stone temple dog guardians of the Chinese style. They were also more humanlike in build and size, and were the only goblinoids in Warhammer to be able to grow hair. Now they're just bigger goblins. Gnoblars are large-eared and -nosed Goblinoids who get bossed around by the Ogres, as the latter are marginally less likely to eat them than other creatures are and hanging around Ogres provides a modicum of safety from other dangers. They mostly live in the Mountains of Mourn and their foothills, but maps of the Badlands also mention Gnoblar tribes existing there. There are also mentions of Boglars, swamp-dwelling Gnoblars who live in the Marshes of Madness in the southern Badlands. |

Goblins in the Castle: The goblins, while definitely weird (no two look exactly alike — some are big, some are small, some have varying-size limbs, some don't have limbs at all, and some have or don't have tails), are mostly snarky and pragmatic, and tend to be a lot more decent than many human characters. They also have a sort of emotional hive-mind; their King's emotions affect all the others. Meaning that when he's happy, they're happy, and when he's in an angry and deranged mood, so are the rest of them. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: They aren't actually called goblins, but the diamond dogs fit the niche to a T. They seem to come in sizes tiny and huge (well, huge compared to a pony) but are all hunched over and fanged, talk with a hissing, Gollum-esque inflection, live underground, wear utilitarian metal armor and carry weapons, mine heavily, and are quick to abduct surface creatures. | |

Changeling: The Lost has the hobgoblins, things that live in the dimension between Earth and Faerie. They're not quite as powerful as the True Fae, but they operate by the same fucked-up rules as them. They're also extremely diverse, ranging from Will-o'-the-Wisps to kelpies to cunning merchants to gigantic trapdoor spiders. While hobgoblins are monsters from the Hedge, it should be noted that "goblin" is a word signifying not the type of creature, but a type of behavior, so to speak. "Goblin" can refer to any fae being who is opportunistic and disloyal (whether a Changeling or a hobgoblin of any sort), or someone who works for a Goblin Market. There are also a lot of Changelings that could be described as "Goblin-like", especially those of the "Wizened" seeming. In Changeling: The Dreaming, on the other hand, the closest thing to goblins are the Nocker kith, wiry and foul-mouthed individuals with a tendency towards mad science (and Explosive Instrumentation). In folklore "nockers" or "knockers" are more or less the same as kobolds. Goblins later appeared as their own race, one of the Thallain, and part of the Shadow Court. They have the unique ability called "Mayhem" that lets them make improbably destructive weapons out of just about anything. |

In Loop Hero, goblins are lesser sapient species that live in tribes and sustain their living by pillaging from other species. Goblins are incredibly clever and are extremely adept at copying humans if it aids in their survival - one goblin even managed to pass himself off as a cloaked human - but they are incapable of creating new ideas or innovating on old ones. They also need to follow a strict heirarchy behind a leader; if a tribe leader dies, they collectively pick a random goblin and gorge them with food so that they quickly grow into their new leader. | |

The demon goblins of Wormwood are ugly, vicious humanoids native to another dimensions, from which they were brought to Wormwood by the sorceress Salome; as Salome also freed them from the rule of a cruel alien intelligence, they are fanatically loyal to her. They are cruel killers and cannibals who feed on their own kin. They may be distant kin to the goblins of Rifts Earth and the Palladium Fantasy world, but are much stronger and more organized than them. | |

They ride spiders, breed rats to eat, form alliances with virtually anything up to and including a brood of goo monsters, create explosives, and practice strange magics such as "kleptomancy" (divination by theft), Torog's Uncontrollable Explosive Flatulence, and the summoning of random planar beings. | |

Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash: Goblins in the series are intelligent creatures that have a bit of a social order, with upper-class ones taking wives and banishing those that lose to them in battle to the Old Town. The exiled ones are the ones most often seen, staking a claim to the surrounding area. They also come in different types. Mud goblins are the lowest kind, while proper goblins have pouches they use to carry valuables. Hobgoblins are roughly human-sized, but are dumb and used as servants. | |

These weak, mischievous creatures wear a paper mask and fight using musical instruments, they also vary in power level based on their color (green, red, yellow, blue and black). Especially different are the blue and black imps, the blue ones will travel by Kite Riding and the black use the surrounding skulls of earlier victims as laser-firing Attack Drones. | |

In order to hide from the universal lynch-mob from killing them they slaughtered the Eldrich, Trolvic, Atlantian and Krynn. Then disguised themselves genetically as the ones they slaughtered. All except for the ones who resided on the Dynasty's base-station "Oblivion" remained true Gaoblin. | |

In The Spiderwick Chronicles, goblins are roving scavengers that resemble devilish toads. They love playing mean-spirited pranks on humans and are born without teeth, thus placing various small sharp items in their gums to act as substitutes. Closely related are the bat-faced hobgoblins, which are similar to goblins in nature except friendlier (if even more mischievous). Goblins serve as the Big Bad's minions while a hobgoblin is the resident Anti-Hero. | |

Tales of MU has "goblinoids" as an order of humanoids that aren't mammalian or reptilian. They aren't Always Chaotic Evil, but that hasn't stopped them from occupying the "adventurer fodder" role in times past. Goblinoids in Tales of MU often exhibit an extremely patriarchal culture while their method of reproduction can put just about anybody off the idea of kids forever. Goblins are short marsh-dwellers who worship/live in fear of sleeping Eldritch Abominations. Before becoming civilized by the human empire, they favored direct forms of problem solving, like throwing people into bogs or biting them to death. Kobolds resemble goblins, but with red skin instead of green. They live in mines beneath mountains and fight dwarves for territory while trying to protect their wealth from human looters. Their society is rigid and more stratified than the goblins'. Hobgoblins follow the "larger, stronger goblin" stereotype, but they're slow and methodical instead of being wicked and cruel, being seen by humans as reliable workers. In the goblins' own language, "hobgoblin" roughly translates as "house-boy". Hobgoblins make up the majority of the labor pool in goblin society; this worked fine for goblin-kind until the humans came and started mucking things up filling the poor impressionable hobgoblins' heads with such fantastic notions as being paid for their work. |

In Ironclaw goblins are really different. Also known as Morrignai and one of the few creatures in the setting that can truly be called monsters, they look like eight-foot-tall wolves with the heads and wings of ravens. With their strength and magic resistance just one can seriously threaten an adventuring party. According to Phelan legends they used to steal children and other horrific things but ages ago the druids went to war with them. Both sides barely survived the conflict and have largely left each other alone since then, but the goblins still foster a deep hatred for the tribes. | |

Dungeon Siege III marks the return of the goblins, having been absent entirely from II. After the defeat of the mad leader of the goblins in the original, a more civilized group of goblins took over and gained citizenship in Stonebridge, creating a Steampunk renaissance. Two of them are even on the city's ruling council at the time of III. There are still enemy goblins you have to face, but they're rogues and mercenaries rather than the evil madmen fought in the original. | |

In Super Snail by QCplay Limited, there's a very traditional group of goblins with the usual magic-wielding shaman and wolfrider. However they're living in the year 2023 and deep underground past a number of subway stations into their own dungeon. Each one of those goblins is also essentially a Boss enemy that can easily kick Super Snail's ass. | |

Guardian: The Lonely and Great God: Kim Shin, the title character, is a dokkaebi, the Korean equivalent of a goblin. He's nothing like most Western versions of goblins; he looks like a normal human, but he's immortal and has supernatural powers. | |

GURPS, being a generic system, can offer various sorts of goblin. For example: GURPS Goblins features an entire alternate Earth exactly like ours circa the 1830s, but inhabited only by goblins — a parody of Regency England. These particular goblins are extremely varied, being shaped by the exact forms of mistreatment they suffer in childhood, but are alike in being base, crude, and vulgar, as well as standing up to cartoon levels of interpersonal violence. Banestorm features goblins as short, green humanoids, immigrants from the mostly arid desert world of Gabrook. They are intelligent, civilized and naturally curious, and actually fit well enough into human society. Hobgoblins are their larger, dumber cousins; while a few live among goblins as servants, most remain hunter-gatherers living in small bands in the wilderness. The GURPS Dungeon Fantasy line (with its standalone spin-off The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game) is a GURPS implementation of "standard" tabletop fantasy games, and hence has goblins and hobgoblins in their standard role as the foot-soldiers of evil. However, it is possible to play an exceptional goblin or hobgoblin as a character. GURPS Fantasy Folk: Goblins and Hobgoblins reviews the range of goblinoids from legend, fantasy, and games, and details four types of goblin, some drawn from previous GURPS books (the "mean" dungeon fantasy type, the smart type from Banestorm, dim-witted but nigh-indestructible comedy goblins, and quite formidable, quasi-folkloric "spirit" goblins) and two types of hobgoblin (another "mean" dungeon fantasy type and the surly versions from Banestorm). |

Rifts: Psi-goblins are psychic goblins brought to Rifts Earth as enforcers and soldiers for the Federation of Magic. They are cruel beings who hate anything and anyone beautiful, and are expert and eager torturers. The demon goblins of Wormwood are ugly, vicious humanoids native to another dimensions, from which they were brought to Wormwood by the sorceress Salome; as Salome also freed them from the rule of a cruel alien intelligence, they are fanatically loyal to her. They are cruel killers and cannibals who feed on their own kin. They may be distant kin to the goblins of Rifts Earth and the Palladium Fantasy world, but are much stronger and more organized than them. |

Chronopia: Most goblins are vassals of the Blackblood Empire serving as nimble scouts and cannonfodder. But from various jungle tribes there are Dual Wielding Swordmasters, the desert-dwelling shock troop Crimson Blades with their two-handed falchions and also the empire has goblins riding Ripper-Beasts, vicious landbound bird-reptile hybrides somewhat reminiscent to the prehistoric Axebeak. There is one free tribe of goblins who grew powerful enough to become their own faction. The Swamp Goblins are a primitive tribe who are well-versed in herb and insect lore - allowing them to tame the beasts and master the use of poison. The Swamp Goblins are also allies with the Elven House, Yellow Lotus. |

In The Legend of Snow White (which gives the story of Snow White massive Adaptation Expansion), goblins are fire spirits, short in stature and humanoid but with distinctive triangular noses. Their ruler is Prince Gobby, who starts out as a villain who tries to force Snow White to marry him, but has a Heel–Face Turn when he finds true love with a girl goblin named Memole. | |

The Goblins: Life Through Their Eyes webcomic started out with goblins as being a Villains Out Shopping look at The Dungeons & Dragons world from their point of view. It has since mutated into a full blown Deconstruction of the normal D&D world and Character Alignment system. Alignment system is played straight in this webcomic: many villains even detect as Evil, and they are, well, evil—very much so. It is just that the main cast of goblins is Good and they are opposed by Evil, but self-righteous, humans. And yet there is a mysterious paladin — Kore — who still retains his class powers despite murdering innocent children and cripples just because they are of monster races or even just had friendly contact with them. It's eventually revealed that he's trapped the souls of others within his body, allowing him to access their alignment at will. He's also something of a Tautological Templar, genuinely convinced that every monstrous race is an abomination that needs to be slain — along with those who show sympathy to them. A few comics showed a glimpse of an alternate universe where goblins are similar to but oh so very different from those in the main universe. |

Goblin Slayer, surprisingly, subverts this. Goblins in the setting are, in many ways, surprisingly generic, with many of the characteristics common in fantasy and Dungeons & Dragons-type settings. They're as small as a human child, with the strength to match, and while dangerous in large numbers, an experienced adventurer can usually make short work of them. Chapters one and two of the manga show, in horrific detail, what goblins do to inexperienced and woefully under-prepared adventurers who foolishly try and raid their lairs, intent on exterminating them and rescuing the maidens that the goblins had kidnapped for breeding purposes. If there's one thing that's different about the goblins in this setting, it is the fact that there is absolutely nothing funny about them: They are absolutely terrifying. There are some things that are different about these goblins. Chiefly, they are a One-Gender Race who rely on the females of other races to produce offspring — a trait you rarely see from monsters outside of certain hardcore Seinen works or Hentai). They are capable of Evolution Power-Up, and they are alien invaders from another world, something done only in Warhammer and hardly anywhere else. Goblins being beginner fodder is deconstructed here. The reward for quests is based on how much the person placing the quest can pay. While merchants can pay generously to eliminate bandits, small villages being raided by goblins have few funds. Experienced adventurers won't bother with goblin requests because the pay doesn't match the danger involved. Beginning adventurers see the low reward and expect it's due to the relative ease of the request and so are unprepared for just how utterly vicious they can truly be. |

The goblins in The Princess and the Goblin have incredibly tough skin, to the point that boulders falling on their head don't bother them and swords bend when they strike. They're incapacitated by even light blows to their feet though, and cheerful singing repels them. | |

In Dragon Dice, goblins are a race that is equivalent in strength to any of the other races. They are composed of the elements of Earth and Death, and find their home in the swamps of the setting. Instead of the usual warg or wolf mounts for their cavalry, they have trained leopards to serve as mounts. | |

Merlin had a literal goblin in "Goblin's Gold". It was a small, greenish, bald creature that loved gold and playing tricks on people. It made several people fart, made Uther lose his hair and gave Arthur donkey ears. It could take over a person's body and control them, and the only way to get it out was to almost kill the host. | |

Artemis Fowl goblins are reptilian and have fire powers. To quote the book: "Goblins; evolution's little joke. Take the stupidest creature in existence and give them the ability to conjure fire". Of course this is more Fantastic Racism than anything. Goblins are arguably the lest intelligent type of Fairy, but they can speak, have a culture, and are held individually responsible for breaking Fairy law, unlike some other creatures found below ground (like Trolls) that are basically just animals. They seem to be unbelievably stupid by the standards of other intelligent creatures, but more intelligent than actual animals. Artemis asks why the LEP assumes the conspiracy has to be headed by non-goblins. Foaly explains that goblins are so stupid that they caught the head of the cartel because he signed his real name when using a fake ID. |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom adds another blin to the family. The Horriblin seems to be an even more goblin like varient. They're subterranean or cave dweling which hints to a tolkienesque aversion to sunlight. And rather than the pig-like snouts of the other blins in this game and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild the Horriblin has a far more goblin like face. | |

Vindictus: You first encounter goblins on the quests from Boat 3, which take you to the destroyed town of Ainle, which you usually only reach at around the 20s in level. They're pale monsters roughly the size of humans that used to be part of the Fomors that make up your general enemies, but are now under the control of vampires. They are very slow, but their clubs which have nails through them pack quite a punch. The bosses among them are larger than humans and have such names as Servant of Twilight and Servant of Hell, with the only named one of the bunch being their leader, Information Chief Kalis, a big red goblin warrior who wields a scimitar, and who quickly earns the players' hatred when he brutally murders poor Ellis just before the boss fight in the fourth quest. | |

Terraria: Goblins seem to be a combination of many of their various forms. The majority are seen in invasion events, and come in warrior, mage, archer, peon, thieves (who don't actually steal anything), and if in hardmode, summoners. You can also find the occasional scout on the outer edges of the world at random, and a peaceful NPC goblin tinkerer trapped underground after defeating at least one invasion. According to him, he was abandoned for telling them they weren't actually approaching from the right direction. | |

Van Von Hunter: Volume 2 has the "darkness-loving goblins" in that world as "elves" corrupted by demonic magic. Hollow-tree, cookie-baking elves. Who still make great baked goods. They make AMAZING brownies. Which are Comfort Food to the Sidekick, and Really Good to a pack of zombies that snaps them out of a hunger from brains in Volume 2 (the zombies then want the brownies instead). The brownies have made a king reconsider not having them operate in his kingdom (where they could do great business selling their baked goods). | |

Goblins in Re:Monster are similar to the ones in Goblin Slayer. Although females exist, they find it easier to breed with other races so the men often kidnap and rape human women.

In Fighting Fantasy, goblins are among the races created by evil gods and are innately tainted with Chaos. As chaos creatures, goblins have evolved into various subspecies including Sewer Goblins and the even weaker than normal Lesser Goblin. There are also the more dangerous Mutant Goblins who really got "blessed" by Chaos to becoming monstrous freaks. | |

Of Orcs and Men has Styx, as well as other goblins as weaker enemies. Interestingly, Styx is apparently the only one to show any intelligence; other goblins in the game are unintelligent to the point of being viewed as animals. It's later revealed that Styx is the original goblin and was once an Orc was transformed due to dabbling too much with magic. All others are simply magically-spawned clones. The prequels Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness show that the original Styx, the one who was once an orc, was killed by a perfect clone of himself he constructed to free him from prison. This Styx, is the player character, and the one who goes on to be the Styx seen in Of Orcs and Men. |

Goblins as depicted in The Hobbit by Rankin/Bass Productions look very odd compared to most stereotypical depictions of goblins, large (at least to a hobbit), putrid creatures, either hugely muscular or fat. They also had bulbous toad-like heads featuring tusks, lupine ears, canine-like noses, horns, and even two throats. This design is recycled in The Return of the King. Also, they are amazing singers. | |
