Goblin

Goblins are a race that is almost universally despised. Very few goblins have been civilized due to their general tendency to behave like evil maniacs. While not particularly dangerous, they are widely considered pests. Most stand around three feet tall and live in abandoned buildings and caves where they can venture out to steal food and basic tools from other races. They do not have the organization, patience or normally the intelligence to functionally farm and tend to hunt areas to extinction when they aren't threatened. Many goblins end up working as expendable foot soldiers for the larger and more organized races.

On occasion though there is a rare exception. A goblin is born with a bit more intelligence or a bit more morality than the average goblin. They tend to quickly become outcasts and some find themselves in civilized society. In some ways this has resulted in the best of goblin breeding stock being located in the civilized world and goblin children born of two intelligent goblin tend to be more intelligent themselves. Still the population is small and even the most civilized goblins tend to have a greedy streak, a ravenous hunger, a twisted sense of humor, and a certain respect for nature.

No. They are not like goblins in World of Warcraft.
