Goblin Overview [1] [2] [3] [4]
Goblinoids. Goblins belong to a family of creatures called goblinoids [along with] hobgoblins and bugbears…
Malicious Glee. [Goblins are] motivated by greed and malice, [and] celebrate the few times they have the upper hand…
Leaders and Followers. Goblins are ruled by the strongest or smartest among them… Goblin bosses are easily ousted, and many goblin tribes are taken over by hobgoblin warlords or bugbear chiefs .
Challenging Lairs. Goblins festoon their lairs with alarms… to signal [encroachment by] intruders. Those lairs [have] narrow tunnels and bolt-holes that [larger] creatures can't navigate… allowing [goblins] to flee or… surprise their enemies.
Rat Keepers and Wolf Riders. Goblins have an affinity for rats and wolves, raising them to serve as companions and mounts…Found in Adventures[edit]
