Supervisor's Comments
The Goblin is attracted by an empty tile in the Lair.
The Goblin has one important advantage in battle — his remarkably short recovery time after being dropped. When you're dropping a whole pile of creatures, try dropping the Goblin first, and the more powerful fighters and spellcasters a bit behind him. The Goblin will recover quickly and screen the other creatures while they're dazed and vulnerable.
The Goblin is one of the more valuable minions in a Keeper's army. He is a Flanker, and so rushes to attack any Support creatures he can get to. While the Goblin doesn't do heavy damage in combat, he does strike very quickly. This is what makes a group of Goblins so effective against more powerful creatures.
Out of combat, he is one of the most slothlike creatures you will encounter, doing nothing particularly useful other than training.
Quotes
"Look well. A goblin has entered your domain. On his own he is a cowardly beast, but in a horde becomes a useful fighting force."
"The goblin is a stalwart dungeon minion. It is quick to recover from stunning and while weak individually, in hordes they can be a ferocious pack."
Goblins represent the staple of any thriving dungeon. Goblins excel at nothing, but are eager and willing to serve, although they may well turn their noses up at research or manufacturing work. In combat, their effectiveness really depends on their numbers; they simply don't have the strength or skills to be considered effective independent warriors but as a pack they can overcome their innate fear of danger. Possibly due to their size and lack of exceptional skills or maybe just because they're ugly, Goblins have a slight tendency to be picked on by other creatures. They themselves despise Dwarves.
