Goblin

Goblins are generally weak monsters good for player training at low combat levels. The goblins are green-skinned, hunch-backed, and with pointed ears and teeth. They are likely a relative of the ork race. The goblins enjoy fighting, wars and bloodshed, based on the commandments of their god. However, since their alliance with humans, they have been reduced to merely causing mischief. They are depicted as simple minded, warlike, and easily controlled, and have been used as basic foot soldiers by many different entities throughout the game's history. The exception is the Dorgeshuun tribe, or cave goblins, who are portrayed as being educated, civil, and peace loving. Goblins are the official followers of the god Bandos. Originally, the goblins were a gentle and intelligent race of farmers living in an alternate universe to Gielinor. However, Bandos arrived and destroyed their world, sending the goblins into Gielinor. The goblins were gullible, and there were many. Therefore, Bandos trained these short-lived humanoids to fight in wars, and they became less and less intelligent, with no magical or technological abilites, other than forging weaponry. It appeared that Bandos hated goblins.

Fighting strategy

Goblin tribes


The goblins are often presented as siding with enemy gods and nations, however, many became allies with humans after the human hero Arrav united them. The goblin tribes can follow any god, and whilst most still are friendly with humans and too weak to attack them, there are some which will always be loyal to Bandos, and kill humans freely. Some also follow Zamorak.
