Goblins are short, humanoid enemies. They live in tribes in their own small settlements—usually in or near caves and mines—and will attack any trespassers. In general, they are hostile, and have been known to attack settlements.
A Goblin polymorph is available via the Shadowsilk Gem disguise and Shadowsilk Goblin Polymorph.

NotesEdit
- At launch, goblins had no eyeballs in their sockets, leaving them empty and giving them a milky white appearance. All goblins (including the polymorph) were given new green-blue eyes in Update 31 to match Riekr and fill in the hollow sockets. The last time an entire race had an eye color change before this was when Chimer had their black eyes replaced with golden irises.
- You are transformed into a goblin for a section of the quest A Means to an End.
