Sometimes they come with their larger, far more dangerous cousins, the two other goblinoid races - the brutish Bugbears, and the smarter, more warlike Hobgoblins. They're just evil, nasty little cave-dwelling scumbags that are ill-mannered, attack villages, and serve as general nuisances for most adventurers. I love the goblins, but it's hard to really say that D&D's goblins are super-duper interesting. You can blame Warhammer for that depiction of goblins, which are green-skinned, capricious, destructive and more just generically 'chaotic' than actually evil, and then franchises like Magic: The Gathering, the Warcraft franchise and Pathfinder latched onto this depiction wholeheartedly. actually don't visually look like most of the green-skinned crazy goblins seen in many modern fiction! D&D's goblins have relatively consistently just look like monstrous little midget humans with fleshy skin colouration, whereas most video games tend to feature green-skinned goblins who are more entertainingly psychotic than just straight-out evil. And it's interesting just how many different types of goblins there are in modern fantasy, and how much D&D's goblins.
More D&D monsters! Yeah, I know, Svirfneblins technically come between gnolls and goblins, but it's so clunky to write "Gnome, Deep to Kenku", and I do like to have the titles be catchy and the goblins are like one of the most notable monsters out there.Ĭlick here for the previous part, covering Fomorians to Gnolls.Ĭlick here for the next part, covering Kobolds to Mimics.Īnd here we go with one of the more iconic monsters in modern fantasy, the goblin.
