BACKGROUND: 
The word goblin is derived from the Greek "kobalos" meaning rogue. Appropriately, goblins are known as the thieves and villians of the fae realm. The term goblin can apply either to the ugliest members of the fae, or to certain sub-races.

Some reside in mines where they search for the earth's treasures (though not all goblins are adept at this pratice, Kobolds and Wichtlein mime the act by stricking pickaxes and hammers against the stones). Human miners take the resulting sounds as a sign of good luck, believing the present ore to be of high value. Other goblins choose human residences where their mischief includes the banging of pots and pans, rearranging furniture, removing the clothes from sleeping humans and knocking on doors and walls. Still others of the family prefer grottos, often residing in the same one for their entire life.

Those fae numbered among the goblin subraces, include: Scottish Trows, Scandinavian Trolls, English Spriggans, Welsh and Cornish Knockers and German Kobolds are all considered goblins.

MOTIVATION: 
Selfishness and Fear.

TACTICS: 
Cowardly creatures, Goblins will normally only dare to attack a doughty foe given the advantage of surprise or numbers. In a fight they are scrappy opponents, wild to attack with tooth and claw, or using a variety of rude weaponry. Although undisciplined and individually weak, they should be feared if encountered in strength.
