Goblins were a small goblinoids, they are notoriously numerous and common in most regions of the Forgotten Realms. They had flat faces, broad noses, pointed ears, and small, sharp fangs. Their foreheads sloped back, and their eyes varied in color from red to yellow. Their skin color ranged from green or yellow through any shade of orange to a deep red. Goblins usually stood between 3'4" (1,4 meters) and 3'8"(1,20 meters) and weighed about 40 (18 kg) to 55 (25 kg) pounds on average. Goblins bred extremely rapidly compared with many other races, accounting for their large population.

E.I.: To a goblin, it didn't seem logical to treat others as well or better than you would treat yourselves; rather, they believed in preemptively removing potential rivals before they could become a threat.
