![]() One of the most notorious tribes is the Rundvelt goblins, who mastered the use of Rock Sleds, and siege equipment, and even developed a societal structure. Many were found in the Ironclaw Mountains and Oneah, and joined forces with their one-time human enemies during the Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria and were trained as soldiers. Not much is known about the native goblins of Aerona, aside from their general ubiquitousness. Below are a few of the main goblin nations and subraces on Dominaria. Among Argivian scholars, it was a documented fact that the further one would get from the site of the Brothers' War (on the shattered continent of Terisiare), the more feral, beast-like and generally stupid the local goblins tended to become. Goblins live nearly anywhere on Dominaria where suitable deserts and mountains can be found. Their diet consists mostly of slugs, grubs, and snails. They breed fast enough to not wipe out their race.ĭominarian goblins are known for their tenacity in battle, low intellect, and high incidence of accidental death. The Goblin Explosioneers of Bablovia are steamfloggers and tinkerers that experiment with lots of crazy ideas, many of which explode. What is known is that it's heavily implied they're not very smart, as one goblin tries to keep applying to Strixhaven by shouting "Apply!" at the administrators rather than showcasing their talents and intelligence. Not much is known about goblins in Arcavios aside from the fact they do exist. The unspoken truth about these raids is that they're a form of population control. The goal of such raids is for at least one goblin to return with food for at least two. Raiders are picked off one-by-one by predators, carnivorous plants, or their own incompetence - or the entire party is devoured by a fire elemental or some other monstrosity. These raids are usually a disaster, however. Starving groups of goblins will sometimes organize raids on the more verdant lands below them. They wield primitive weapons made of their ancestors’ bones, especially femurs and ribs, and a leader carries a mace crafted from the skull of his or her predecessor. The word for squirming into a tight crack - a goblin’s preferred escape tactic - is the somewhat poetic phrase plikintok agat, or "wearing a garment of rock." Jund goblins wear only the skins and bones of creatures they kill. They can wriggle into spaces a snake would have second thoughts about. Most goblins are spindly in build, but stronger than they appear and very fast. They have small red eyes, elongated muzzles with powerful incisors, bent legs like a rat, and short tails they are covered in short brown hair. ![]() Jund goblins are bestial in appearance, with rodent-like features similar to the nezumi of Kamigawa. Scavengers who pick the bones of old kills, goblins also eat insects and worms, and gather the roots and tough fruit of the sparse vegetation that grows on mountainsides and plateaus. Most goblins live in cairnlike "shelter stones" that are heaped up to keep off the worst predator attacks. They worship the majestic dragons that rule Jund's smog-choked skies and consider it an honor to be devoured by the great beasts. In Jund's rigid pecking order/food chain, goblins are the least powerful sentient race they are frequently preyed upon by the plane's equally barbaric humans and viashino and survive chiefly through their great numbers. They are small, barbaric creatures that lack the whimsical side of most other goblins. ![]() The only goblins known to inhabit the five sundered planes of Alara are found in the inhospitable world of Jund. However, they have appeared in all five colors, notably among the boggarts of Lorwyn–Shadowmoor and as Izzet and Boros guild members on Ravnica.Ĭards with the creature type Goblin first appeared in Alpha, on Goblin Balloon Brigade, Goblin King, and Mons's Goblin Raiders. On most planes, they are red-aligned, and they are the characteristic race for that color. Like elves, goblins seem to be abundant in the Multiverse, to the extent that their absence is more notable than their presence: the only planes that appear to lack native goblins are Amonkhet, Capenna, Ikoria, Kaldheim, Ulgrotha, Innistrad, Theros, and Kaladesh. Goblins are usually portrayed with low intelligence and poor judgment, but often demonstrate a certain ingenuity and affinity for artifacts. Goblins is a creature type used for cards that depict a race of diminutive humanoids, frequently encountered in underground warrens in mountain areas.
