Goblins

Goblins often live on the cast-offs of other races and frequently thrive in the shadows of their larger brawnier cousins, the Orcs. They are, in general, a miserable treacherous race of petty thieves and vicious cutthroats. Goblins can be found just about anywhere, but are often divided up between several distinct sub-species that are fairly unique in their culture or physiology than the more common Goblin.   For instance, the Night Goblins are famous for living exclusively within cave systems deep underground, and have a strong aversion to sunlight. The Forest Goblins are known to dwell almost exclusively within the forest, hence their namesake, where their primitive lifestyle and constant worship of spiders makes them an all too common threat for many lumber communities within the wrold. Fire Kobolds are goblins that have adapted to volcanic areas like the Red Cloud Mountain. Troglagobs, in contrast, have adapted to aquatic regions and are often found in or near rivers or near the sea. In far away Nagrath, escaped Goblin slaves have gone native, being called Frost Goblins. The turquoise-skinned Gnoblar are a distinct off-shoot of mountain or hill-dwelling Goblins living within the slopes and river valleys of the Mountains of Mourn. But perhaps the smallest and most pathetic of the Goblin species are the Snotlings, creatures so dull-witted and simple in their behaviour that they serve no purpose in Greenskin society other than as pets or emergency food.   The Common Goblin, or Plain Goblin can vary greatly in size and habits, but all of them are universally small, scrawny, nimble, and evil-minded.  Since most Orcs are too lazy or dull-witted to do anything other than fighting, Goblins are often used as the primary labor force for many Greenskin tribes, often doing menial acts and labors such as hunting, building, herding and crafting.  While they lack the size and brute strength of the Orcs, they are considerably far more cunning and intelligent by comparison. Goblins possess just enough intelligence to craft simple tools and build crude buildings, traits that are usually nonexistent to most Orcs within a tribe. Nevertheless, due to their weak and cowardly behaviour in a society that only respects strength and brutality, Goblins naturally don't possess a powerful position within Orc dominated tribes
