Goblins

Goblins, a short and often quite vicious race of creatures, are considered the bane of every frontier land. They make tribal holds in caves, ruins and abandoned mines, sometimes even digging their own homes if none are freely taken. They are a short-lived race with no uniting goal or culture. One tribe might be one that pilfers things from ruins and seeks to trade with other races, one might seek to destroy all life with the exception of their own Tribe. Magic is often considered something very mystical and great, leading to shamans and priests becoming tribal leaders.

Goblins are cousins to Bugbears and Hobgoblins, both of which often use goblins as cheap and easily replaced cannon fodder. They are also loosely related to Ogres.
