d100 Goblin Tribes

Goblins are a race of small and numerous goblinoids, often living in
underground caverns near the surface known as lairs. This list contains
one hundred different tribes and communities that these interesting
creatures might be a part of.

1 The Bog Creepers: These sneaky goblins tend to live deep in the swamp in great mud huts, where it is difficult for others to reach them. They
cover themselves in dark mud, lie in wait near roads that go through the swamp, and ambush unsuspecting victims.
2 The Spiderbite Tribe: The Spiderbite Tribe ‘befriends’ giant spiders that build their nests in caves. The understanding is that the giant spider will
protect the goblins from outside attack, if the goblins continue to bring the spider fresh meals.
3 The One-Eye Tribe: Led by Shar-took the Seer, who was born with one eye, this goblin tribe requires that all of its new members cut out their
own eye. Shar-took believes that having only one eye gives you insight into the future. He is frequently wrong, but he IS the strongest of the
tribe, so there isn’t much they can do about it.
4 The Axe-biter Clan: These mischievous goblins terrorize roadways that travel through great forests. They use their crude homemade axes to
chop down trees and lay the logs across the road ways. If a caravan stops to clear the log, the goblins move in to strike.
5 The Red Skull Tribe: These goblins have a unique trait. From the moment they are born, they are covered with red mud that slowly dyes their
skin as they grow older, giving them a deep red skin tone. They dwell within abandoned dwarven mines where they have quick access to the
red mud needed.
6 The Orc Killers: they are a tribe that got fed up with being forced to do the Orcs bidding. They realized that there were way more Goblins than
Orcs. So they Rebelled, killing their Orc overlords. Now they travel the realm, freeing their brethren from the Orc yoke. They are feared by
Orcs everywhere. They believe the only good Orc is a Dead Orc! and they taste good once roasted.
7 The Bird Cruncher Tribe: Forest dwelling goblins known for the disturbing habit of biting the heads off of birds and wearing the corpses as
decoration. A favored tactic is ambush from above onto unsuspecting travelers below.
8 The Muckwalkers: Highly shamanistic/druidic goblin tribe, gifted in poisons and the spreading of rot and filth. The tribe chooses one of its
warriors each year to be the ‘pot’; a living cauldron of disease that willingly accepts the darker, repulsive gifts of nature. The ripened pot is
then unleashed on their enemies.
9 Angry Biter Clan: Mutated, cannibalistic goblins with comically oversized heads and razor sharp teeth. They live painful, short lives (even for
goblins), which leads them to be even more radical in their raids and attacks on civilized lands. They are known for fighting without weapons,
preferring to bite and locking jaws onto prey en masse, using their collective weight to bear down on larger opponents. The end result is
bloody and unpleasant.
10 The Putrid Biters: These goblins have gone entirely feral due to long years living in a swamp and consuming fruit that has rotted on the vine.
These goblins have developed a disease ridden bite and a mighty need for meat. The goblins live in warrens dug into the mud and swarm in a
truly terrifying display, literally shoving each other into the mud to plunge their sharpened teeth into anything that dares stray into their swamp.
11 Silkwater Goblins: first beings to discover how to harvest silk from silkworms, using it as string and rope rather than cloth. Other races learned
it from them, and the goblins have been forgotten for the most part, but they remain proud of their history.
12 The Seller Tribe: A different sort of tribe that isn’t as openly violent to outsiders. Instead they decide to sell themselves as a sort of mercenary
clan. From ridding a yard of rats to being used as cheap muscle. You name a good price, from three whole chickens to a smattering of coins,
and they’re yours to command.
13 The Red Weepers: All members of the tribe are Goblins who are infected with a mysterious illness that makes them cry blood, but also gives
them regenerative powers. Since the disease is very contagious and can spread also to other races (with lesser effects) they are hunted down
by plague doctors and adventurers. To counter this, the Red Weepers often sneak into or attack other Goblin tribes to spread the disease and
have more members.
14 The Bodybuilders: This Goblin tribe lives deep underground, in what was once the lair of a powerful dragon, now dead. They are using the
powerful latent magic combined with the dragon bones and some magical items that it had hoarded to build themselves an army of homunculi
(which they call ‘bodies’). Their leader Frikkstain was the first to discover the lair when he fell in an abandoned Kobold mine, and used a
powerful magic club (actually a magic staff) to become leader of the tribe. If they succeed in building enough ‘bodies’, they could become
quite a problem for surface dwellers.
15 The Wandsnappers: Former minions of an evil mage, have a grudge against all magic users.

16 Gordoff the Giant: Led by a gifted armorer artificer, this tribe of goblin spellcasters work in unison to pilot an ultra-realistic, magic-mecha
hill giant. Upon close inspection, it’s easy to tell that the giant is fake, but hill giants are so dumb, they can’t tell that Gordoff isn’t a real giant,
although they believe ‘he’ is a little bit of a weirdo. Gordoff stumbles through life as a giant, clumsily imitating hill giant speech, mannerisms,
and customs. But as an organized unit, the goblin tribe is very competent in combat, sometimes using magic to supplement the mech when
nobody’s looking. They use Gordoff to join in on giant raids to get big hauls of treasure. The goal is to eventually become a hill giant chief to
control a small army of hill giants to get even more treasure. But the plan is so taxing and convoluted that the tribe could have probably used
their talents to get rich in a far less complicated manner. Perhaps it’s about the thrill?
17 The Goblin Collective: A goblin hivemind that lives where you typically see goblins. In swamps, wet forests, moors, and caves. But these
goblins, due to the effects of a particular mushroom they cultivate are all linked in consciousness.
18 The Clan of the Night Shrooms: This tribe of mostly unaggressive goblins who cultivate mushrooms for trade and food. A lot of them are noted
to have mushrooms growing on their skins, which freaks out even other goblin tribes, but don’t seem to bothered other than unconsciously
scratching themselves.
19 The Forest Sirens: For some reason or another, these goblins have beautiful singing voices. Their haunting choir can be heard even from the
fringes of the forest, attracting curious adventurers into the dangerous traps and creatures that also make it their home. The tribe makes their
living by scavenging on these curious poor souls.
20 Wild Magic Goblins: These Goblins have been making their home on a leyline for decades now, infusing them with wild magic. When killed
or knocked out, has a decent chance of casting a random spell on a wild magic table. Higher ranking tribe members can cast wild magic
once per day as a spell like ability.
21 The Roost Riders: A clan of goblins that have established a fortress keep high in the cliffs & caves of a nearby mountain. A feudal society has
developed there due to the ruling goblin family’s peculiar talent for taming giant bats to be used as war gliders. These winged leather steeds
give the Roost Riders a superior combative edge against all six other neighboring tribes of the mountain. These tribes pay fealty not only in the
form of gold, but also in a sacrifice of the first-born of each of the tribe’s leaders. The children are taken and raised in the highest level of the
keep to be trained as one of the elite bat riding knights that make up the Roost Riders’ Winged Warband.
22 The Ankle Shankers: Take advantage of their small size and hide in low places to ambush people and bring them down first before giving in to
their demands or killing them.
23 The Corncob Valley Goblin Collective (the CVGC’s): Friendly and docile, this social group of goblins has made a niche for themselves in the
beautiful Hamlet of Corncob Valley. They help guide people through the fields and into the Hamlet and are easily recognized by their vacant
expressions and their clean blonde bowl cut hair styles.
24 The Hogback tribe: these goblins are known for “taming” wild hogs as battle mounts, high ranking members often ride dire boars, and the
most elite members of the tribe sometimes become wereboars.
25 The Blood Tribe: Uses blood magic and dark rituals to summon creatures to fight for them, and to cast curses on their foes.
26 Kendall’s Savages; this band of brutes wander the edges of woodlands burning out settlements that encroach on wild spaces. Their calling
card is to plant trees in the burned out husks of the buildings they destroy. A favorite tactic of theirs is to set a tree ablaze and then fell it onto
buildings. Their leader, Kendall the Beast, is a large female Hob-goblin who runs a tight efficient nomadic tribe through force of personality,
cunning, and enormous physical strength.
27 Fisheye Clan: Live in near darkness deep underground. Their eyes have grown large and milky white and have migrated to opposite sides of
their head.
28 Wormeater Tribe: Subsist on a diet of glowing cave worms. This culinary choice dyes their skin a pale yellow and gives them the worst case of
halitosis imaginable.
29 Skin Crow Tribe: Caravans passing through the dry, meandering canyons to the East are warned to watch overhead for these goblin raiders
that use tanned hides as paragliders to sail silently down from the cliffs to rob and murder merchants.
30 Brunch-Brunch Tribe: Having observed the curious habits of the wealthy from afar, this vicious tribe of goblins stalks groups of nobles who eat
and drink themselves into pliant victims during those odd hours between breakfast and lunch, while the commoners are busy working. This
strategy of grouping valuable and vulnerable targets together has been so successful that the other goblin tribes have grown quite envious.
31 Mad Sappers Tribe: During raids the Mad Sappers cover themselves from head to toe with the magically-sticky pitch from the ancient trees
of their arboreal home. The sap serves as effective camouflage while they approach from the darkness, but when the attack begins, the
screaming goblins leading the charge throw themselves on guards and defenders, sticking their arms and legs together, effectively making
them unable to fight. The back ranks then light their pitch-covered arrows and unleash a volley of fire to cause further mayhem. If a few of
the front liners catch on fire their screams only add to the fun, and while survivors are rare, some have reported hearing the archers cackling
madly at the sight of their flaming comrades.
32 The Mutton Crew: They are known for raiding flocks and killing sheepdogs. Local shepherds have taken to traveling in groups and armoring
yearling pups on journey’s near this tribe’s territory.
33 T’Gaboot: A tribe of very primal goblins wielding spears and big rocks. They speak a very broken form of goblin and set up their base in a
very large and broken Tugboat in a dried out canal where they’ve dug tunnels underneath.

34 The Marooned Boyz: A loose confederation of former goblin deckhands that worked on an orcish pirate ship that was caught in a
tempestuous storm. All but one of the orc pirates perished in the storm. The survivor was named Poog the Unwashed, the former assistant
navigator, who declared himself the new captain and put the surviving goblin deckhands to work building a new ship out of the washed
ashore detritus. Upon completion of the ship, they realized they now only had one orc to contend with, and promptly mutinied and
strung Poog up by his neck. Unable to decide whom amongst them would lead their new pirate crew, they declared the venture an equal
partnership, and launched their new ship ‘Bargrivyek’s Revenge’ out to sea. The ship itself is more a cobbled together raft than a proper ship,
with several tied together planks, and many spears pointed in all directions with wooden shields decorating the sides. ‘Bargrivyek’s Revenge’
also has a small forward mounted cannon, two small ballistae (one port and one starboard), and a stern mounted mechanism that functioned
like a catapult that would launch multiple grappling hooks and ropes for boarding enemy ships. The Marooned Boyz sail the coasts looking
for easy prey, though they have been known to parley with ships that significantly outclass them.

and temples in the cold wastes, and spends a great deal of their time upkeeping the various traps and puzzles and collecting stone from

dangerous, as they appear to have a variety of divine casters in their midst. It has been observed these curious goblins are sun worshippers of
some sort.

Gobleone family are deadly, tricky, and stealthy. This syndicate runs the ‘goings on’ of several city slums around the region and can be found

merchant king and desperate man hoping to earn his way into nobility, behind closed doors he is an iron-fisted and vicious crime boss who
does not accept failure. His three wives have given to him many sons and daughters to fill his ranks, he is also quick to show kindness and
charity and adopt the unwanted Goblins and Bugbears of the city and ensure they have solid jobs working under his watchful eye.
81 The Wolves of Streetwall- In the center of the biggest market district in the capitol is a bank run solely by Goblins. Their magic vaults and
downright magical investment strategies have made them not only the best place in the city for non-nobles to keep their savings but a solid
place for all types to invest their copper to turn it into gold. The goblins who are to blame, known as the ‘wolves’, are vicious loan sharks for
debtors, but strangely generous investors. it’s as if they have some way to harness divination magic and jump at an idea or businesses as if
seeing into the very future. Are they thieves and charlatans? Or is it just good business?
82 Chochlik Freedom Fighters- This collection of Goblin tribes has been fighting for their ancestral land for generations. Although divided they
have been easily defeated and run out by Humanoids, Goblinoids, Monsters, and dark forces, together they have been waging a successful
guerilla war against occupying forces. Different factions are more than happy to smile and provide weapons to direct their attention at an
enemy force, but the Chochlik have seen all sorts of fake smiles and broken promises, and will take more than they agree to give. These
goblins want their freedom and sovereignty again, and they are willing to fight like hell to get it.
83 The Silk Wyrms- Deep in the underdark a collective of Goblins raise silkworms and make textiles out of fungus fibers, silk of worm and spider,
and wool from goblin hair and domesticate underdark beasts. Although they were raided and abused for years from other surrounding
underdark factions, they developed blindsight, domesticated Duergar Striders, and harnessed the power of a special mushroom to make
alchemist fire, and they set a revenge raid on all who wronged them. The following weeks of fire and fighting were legendary, and although
many Goblins were lost, they earned a new respect from their neighbors. Now reclaiming the derogatory name and changing it to ‘Silk
Wyrms’, they now provide textiles to many underdark factions and have a successful trade empire.
84 The Crooked Tones: A large tribe of four hundred or so, having as its ruling class fifty goblin bards. The bards use their magic songs to lure
people into their cavern homes and sell them into slavery. They also use music to boost their tribe’s warriors.

half, to worship a strange deity.
86 The Ten-Killers - They always only kill ten people before they stop their raids. That does not mean they do not come again tomorrow, though.
No one knows exactly why they do this, but the common interpretation is that they have some strange codex or a pact with some meticulous
being.

87 The One-Handed - As an initial ritual to become part of the tribe, every member choses a hand to lose. This hand is then replaced with a
weapon that is strapped onto the arm.
88 The Clubbers - They are known for their brutality in which they almost exclusively use big clubs as weapons. Most victims do not survive and
those who do are in one or the other way injured for the rest of their lives.
89 The Bloody Chickens - Do not be fooled by their name. This tribe is dressed in blood soaked feathered clothes and they sometimes even wear
feather headdresses. They do not like their nickname and no one that mentions that name in front of them has survived so far. Some of the
arrows they shoot have beaks of dead birds as arrowheads and the feathers of the arrows are always blood red.
90 The Worm Tribe - These goblins are known to dig tunnels underneath villages and then suddenly attack by digging to the surface all at
once. They collapse whole buildings this way and drag people under the earth to fight. It is usually a dirty, bloody and muddy battle and
those injured mostly die from sepsis afterwards. The leader of the tribe even gets the title ‘Great Worm’ and wears it proudly. They also live
underground in caves.
91 The Krakens - A seafaring tribe of goblins that roam the seas as pirates and that has never been seen on solid ground. It is assumed that
they are a nomadic tribe that never leaves the sea. They can dive exceptionally well and hold their breath for a long time as they hunt for
sea creatures and fish to survive, if there is no ship in sight that they can attack. Their brutal captain is called the Black Kraken and their fleet
consists of several ships.
92 The Blight - This tribe is led by a necromancer that exclusively resurrects fallen goblins. It is still unclear whether one should call them a tribe,
as the revived corpses of the goblins do not show any sign of consciousness. Scouts have reported horrible sights as the goblins stand still as
statues in ordered rows and lines inside their camp, if they are not attacking.
93 The Ant Clan - This tribe consists of mutated tiny goblins, not bigger than the hand of a normal man. The tale goes, that a wizard once reduced
the size of some of the tribe members and they ... reproduced in that state. They might be small but they are exceptionally brutal. They once
killed a tribe of goliaths by crawling into their mouths while they were sleeping, killing them from the inside.
94 The Society for Security and Satisfaction of Small Sentient Species (The SSSSSS) - A well meaning outreach worker with a savior complex
found themselves unwittingly trapped with this goblin tribe after a major ecological disaster closed off the pass. As the years have gone by
this tribe has taken fully to heart the teachings of this lost individual, and they now position themselves as an NGO (Nasty Goblin Outfit)
that focuses on banding together with other small races to promote their interests, securing funding from more successful neighboring human
civilisation (primarily through means of raiding).
95 The Valley Squig Riders - This goblin tribe has maintained a millennia long relationship with their fascinating spherical red mounts that they
refer to as Squigs. As society has modernized they have moved away from hunting and raiding as they have realized the hummie love for
watching their squig races. The rare lawful leaning Goblin takes work as messengers for urgent deliveries.
96 The Deep, Dank and Dirty - Sometime in the distant past this tribe’s ancestral home began to flood as the roof of their caves gradually
collapsed. Stubbornly refusing to move they have gained a swim speed equal to their movement speed, an at-will ability to hold their breath
for at least 5 minutes whilst underwater, and effective underwater night vision through a form of sonar. They now regularly raid the towns and
villages along the river that run atop their caves, and occasionally trade the various magical items and trinkets that are washed downstream,
as well as being very effective fisherfolk.
97 The Leathered Foot Tribe - This tribe has uncovered the secret of shoe craftsmanship and is well known throughout the region even selling to
royal families. They meticulously hand craft shoes for customers and their backlog is currently 4 months due to the high amount of orders.
Legend says the gods blessed them in how to make a shoe and many believe it to be true. Unfortunately their dark secret is that a demonic
contract was involved. The goblins spend half a lifetime starting from childhood to perfect the craft. The leaders pride themselves in their
reputation and inspect every pair of shoes before sending to the customer.
98 The Mutt Bite Clan - Their tribe breeds and tends to medium sized dogs, mostly mastiffs who have formed a mutual relationship with the clan.
The goblins have learned to mount the creatures and teach the dogs to do simple tasks to aid them in hunting and scavenging. The dogs are
especially good at detecting unwelcome guests and a comparable bite any goblin would love. Ambushing parties on the road while mounted
on the dogs is their favorite thing to do. The goblins wear the dog-skins of their fallen dog companions who died of old age or in battle and
have a special ceremony for deceased dogs or dogs that can now be formally used in battle.
99 The Arcane Power Tribe - Their past involved capturing a wizard and convincing them to teach the elders in the tribe how to read from spell
books and cast spells. They are competent enough to do this with their more mature goblins and have discovered unique low level spells
with a goblin twist. They personally love evocation spells, but like the convenience of other schools of magic. Many of them own their own
homemade spell book and make it their life mission to gain magical knowledge to protect the tribe and take advantage of its benefits.
00 The Rock-Eaters - Legend tells of a dwarven community who dug TOO deep into the ground and unearthed a horrifying breed of blind
goblins who live deep underground. They are incredibly aggressive to ‘surface-dwellers’ and feed upon the gems that they uncover deep
below the earth.
