The Goblins fear the light and will not leave the shelter of their tunnels during the daytime except in direst need. Cowards at heart, Goblins are nonetheless vicious creatures, who mercilessly attack anything that strays into their realms, nestled in the darkest places of the Misty Mountains, such as the infamous High Pass and Mount Gundabad. Their hierarchy is anarchy: the strongest and meanest Goblin leads and the others follow. As such, these weak-willed creatures are forever at the mercy of domination at the hands of more powerful evils.

Like all of the evil parodies of the other races of Middle-earth, the Goblins make no beautiful things, but many clever, vicious ones. Without pride and with little notion of honour or courage, Goblins can be considered the antithesis of the Dwarves, with whom they frequently war for control of the deep places of the world. Though a single Goblin is of little threat, when they go to war they do so in massive hordes, using their advantage of numbers to overwhelm the foe.
