"Goblins are a barbaric, simple race. Their motivations are simple: greed, fear, revenge, vanity and hunger. Though small in stature, their evil cunning is not. They can often be found in large numbers, solitary ones being a weaker warrior sent to scout or posted as a sentry to the main war party. Occassionally, the nyrgil will use goblins as slaves and lesser warriors."

  This short humaniod is a bane to travellers in Northern Threforfar. Often found in Gofin, they will occassionally travel south into the northern woods to hunt and prey on the weak and weary.  Though not strong and easily dispatched by a common footsoldier, they can be surprising in ferocity and deadly in larger numbers. They should not be igonored as a threat.
