\page # Introduction ___ The multiverse contains a nearly infinite number of material planes, and nearly every one has Goblins. They are the only humanoid race as prevalent than Humans themselves. Their prevalence across the multiverse has resulted in many differences between the goblins of different planes. The Monster Manual chronicles the Goblins of the Forgotten Realms. These pages will attempt to present the Goblins as they exist in other worlds. ## Dominaria The Dominarian Goblins are mostly equivalent to Forgotten Realms goblins, and as such the standard Dominarian Goblin can be represented as standard goblins or goblin bosses with their allignment shifted to "any chaotic". However, there are a few notable non-standard goblins on Dominaria, such as: ### Gempalm incinerator On Dominaria, a technique was discovered to focus the energy of one's allies into magic through gems embedded into one's palms. The goblins, of course, used this technique to create more powerful fire magic.

Credit: Luca Zontini, on behalf of WotC > ##### Balance Note: Tribal Benefits > Many goblins of the multiverse gain additional combat benefits from having other goblinoids near them. For the purposes of CR, it is important to include these abilities, but, unlike the group-oriented monsters in the Forgotton realms (such as FR Hobgoblins or Kobolds), some goblin's abilities care about the exact number of goblinoids near them, or benefit all goblins in an area. For the purposes of CR calculation, it is assumed a goblin is always engaging with 4 other goblins (for a total group size of 5), as it is unlikely that such goblins would work in a smaller group. In a smaller or larger group, the CR may not accurately represent a creature's power, but CR really doesn't do that anyway, as we'll see in future Balance notes. ___ > ## Gempalm Incinerator >*Small humanoid (goblin), any chaotic* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 12 (leather armor) > - **Hit Points** 14(4d6) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|6 (-2)|13 (+1)|10 (+0)|13 (+1)|6 (-2)|9 (-1)| >___ > - **Condition Immunities** Stealth +5, Arcana +4 > - **Senses** Darkvision 60ft. passive Perception 9 > - **Languages** Common, Goblin > - **Challenge** 1/4 (50 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The goblin can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns > ### Actions > ***Incinerate.*** *Ranged Spell Attack:* +4 to hit, range 30ft., one target. *Hit* 3 (1d6) Fire damage, plus 1 extra fire damage for each other goblin within 30ft of the incinerator. ### Goblin Skyraider The Goblin Skyraider is an ordinary goblin that strapped paper wings to itself in an attempt to fly, and succeeded. The fact that this ever results in success has lead some magical scholars to believe that Goblins have an inherrent magical ability to passively enchant items around them. - A Goblin Skyraider is a **Goblin** with a flying speed of 40ft.

\page ### Moggs Moggs are a subrace of goblins created through genetic manipulation by Evenkars on the plane of Rath before later being transported to Dominaria. They were created to be a race of soldiers, and as such stand as tall as a human with considerably more muscle mass, but with much less intelligence than is common among goblins. Their leaders are the strongest, stupidest ones of all.

One such example is in the Goblin Goon, an unnaturally massive goblin. As this is an unnatural state for goblins, it exaggerates one of the goblin's natural traits: Cowardice.

It also has disavantage on all saving throws against the Frightened condition. > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** The Goblin Goon makes 2 attacks with its claws. > > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack* +6 to hit, reach 5ft, one target. *Hit*: 11 (2d6+4) slashing damage > ##### Variant: Okks > Prior to the widespread mutations that occured on Dominaria, there were already naturally occuring giant goblins called Okks. These goblins were actually larger than the Goblin Goons, but just as cowardly. An Okk is a Goblin Goon, except its size is Huge instead of Large, its Health is 66 (7d12+21), and it's Claw attack deals 14 (3d6+4) slashing damage. This is more powerful than a Goblin Goon, but not enough to affect CR.

\page ### Reckless One Another victim of mutation as a result of the various apocalyptic events that occured on Dominaria, a Reckless One is a creature that is as much an Elemental as a goblin. It exists as an incarnation of a tribe's collective fury. It is so suffused with magic that it is constantly bursting with crackling red lightning.

If it does, all attacks against it gain advantage until the beginning of its next turn. > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** The Reckless One makes two attacks with its Shortsword. > > ***Shortsword.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, 5 (1d6+2) piercing damage, plus lightning damage equal to the number of Goblins within 30ft. of the Reckless one. ``` ``` ### Razorfin Hunter As a result of the Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria, some creatures mutated into each other. The Razorfin Hunter was once a goblin and an entirely separate Merfolk, but now it is something else entirely.

Credit: Jeff Easley, on behalf of WotC ___ > ## Razorfin Hunter >*Small Humanoid (Goblinoid, Merfok), Any Chaotic* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 12 > - **Hit Points** 9(2d6 + 2) > - **Speed** 10ft., Swim 40ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|10 (-1)|14 (+2)|12 (+1)|10 (+0)|9 (-1)|10 (+0)| >___ > - **Skills** Stealth +6, Perception +1 > - **Senses** passive Perception 15 > - **Languages** Goblin, Aquan, Common > - **Challenge** 1/4 (50 XP) > ___ > ***Amphibious.*** The Razorfin Hunter can breathe both Air and Water. > > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Razorfin Hunter can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > ### Actions > ***Trident.*** *Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack:* +2 to hit, reach 5ft. or Range 20/60ft., one target. *Hit* 3 (1d6) or 4 (1d8) piercing damage if used with two hands to make a melee attack. > > ***Shortbow.*** *Ranged Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, range 80/320ft., one target. *Hit* 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage.

PART 1 | Dominaria

\page ### Unstable Hulk By far the largest of Dominaria's mutant goblins is the Unstable Hulk. Unlike the Goblin Goon, the Unstable Hulk did not become fearful as a result of its increased sized. Instead, it learned to use its increased strength to partially bury itself in areas where it knows caravans travel, becoming the ultimate Ambush Predator of Goblin kind.

Credit: Ron Spencer on behalf of WotC ___ > ## Unstable Hulk >*Huge Humanoid (Goblinoid), Chaotic Evil* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 14 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 105(10d12 + 40) > - **Speed** 40ft, Burrow 20ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|21 (+5)|12 (+1)|19 (+4)|8 (-1)|8 (-1)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Skills** Stealth +7 > - **Senses** Darkvision 60ft. passive Perception 9 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 6 (2300 XP) > ___ > ***Surprise Attack.*** If the Unstable Hulk surprises a creature and hits it with an attack during the first round of combat, the target takes an extra 21 (6d6) damage from the attack.. > > ### Actions > ***Burning Maul.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +8 to hit, reach 10ft., one target. *Hit* 26 (6d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage. ### Ib Halfheart, Goblin Strategist Ib Halfheart is a single unique goblin famous for his cowardice. His powerful cowardice combined with impressive (relatively speaking) intellect enabled to lead his tribe of goblins to more success than most goblin tribes normally see, as he chose to avoid danger instead of ignore it. His Battleplans, though unninspired by most standards, are able to make a number of goblins into an effective force. ___ > ## Ib Halfheart >*Small Humanoid (goblinoid), Chaotic Neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 17 (half plate) > - **Hit Points** 28 (8d6) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|6 (-2)|16 (+3)|10 (+0)|16 (+3)|12 (+1)|14 (+2)| >___ > - **Skills** Stealth +8, History +4 > - **Senses** Darkvision 60ft. passive Perception 11 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 4 (1,100 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** Ib Halfheart can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of his turns. > > ***"Everybody but me - CHARGE".*** When initiative is rolled, if Ib is not surprised, each goblin that can hear Ib may immediately move up to their movement speed. > > ***"It's the pokey bits that hurt".*** Goblins within 30 ft. of Ib add Ib's Charisma modifier to their attack and damage rolls. > > > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** Ib makes 3 attacks with his scimitar. The third attack has disadvantage. > > ***Scimitar.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 6 (1d6 + 3) > ### Reactions ***Redirect Attack.*** When a creature Ib can see targets it with an attack, Ib chooses to switch places with another goblin within 5ft. of him, and the chosen goblin becomes the target instead.

\page ## Mercadia ### Kyren The goblins of Mercadia, called the Kyren, are much more human-like in both their proportions and society. Their intelligence is above-average for all humanoids, let alone Goblins. They used this supreme intellect to become the ruling class in Mercadia. ___ > ## Kyren >*Medium Humanoid (goblinoid), Lawful Evil* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 13 > - **Hit Points** 9(2d8) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|8 (-1)|17 (+3)|10 (+0)|17 (+3)|14 (+2)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Condition Immunities** Persuasion +3, Insight +6, History +5 > - **Senses** Darkvision 60ft. passive Perception 12 > - **Languages** Common, Goblin, up to 2 others > - **Challenge** 1/8 (25 XP) > ___ > ***Cunning Action.*** The Kyren may make the Disengage, Dash, or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > ### Actions > ***Dagger.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 5 (1d4 + 3)

Credit: Luca Zontini, courtesy of WotC ### Squee Squee is a goblin originally born in Dominaria, but who came to prominance after coming to Mercadia as part of the ___ Weatherlight crew. At one point, he was captured by Phyrexians, who made him immortal in order to kill him over and over again. This plan backfired as it gave Squee the time necessary to make a plan to defeat his captors. Then, as an immortal member of the rulling class in Mercadia, he was made a Nabob, or General.

If his body was destroyed by an effect such as a *Disintegrate* spell, it reforms. If his soul is not free to return to his body, whatever magic is responsible for this (such as the enchantment on a Lich's Phylactery) is dispelled. If his soul is destroyed by an effect such as being eaten by a Barghest, it reforms with his body. This effect cannot be surpressed by any means, including a *Wish* spell or divine intervention. > ### Actions > ***Fist.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +1 to hit, reach 5ft *hit* 1 damage.

PART 2 | Mercadia

\page ## Kamigawa ### Akki The Goblins of Kamigawa are much more visually distinct than the previously discussed goblins. "Akki", as they are called have stony skin and a lava-proof shell. Unlike any other plane's goblins, Akki are reptillian, and cold-blooded. As a result of both this and living in the mountains, they evolved significant resistance to the cold.

Credit: Martina Pilcerova on behalf of WotC ___ > ## Akki >*Small humanoid (goblinoid), chaotic evil* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 16 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 11(2d6 + 4) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|8 (-1)|14 (+2)|15 (+2)|8 (-1)|8 (-1)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Damage Resistances** fire, cold > - **Senses** passive Perception 9 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 1/2 (100 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Akki can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** The Akki makes two attacks with its Claws > > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack* +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. *hit:* 4 (1d4+2) slashing damage. > ##### Balance Note: Akki/the CR problem > According to the DMs Guide, the above Akki should be CR 3, due to its high Armor Class. This is ridiculous. Instead I gave it a CR lower than that of the Quadrone (MM page 226), which has the same armor class and twice as many attacks. But, because all Akki have this armor class, this showcases one of the largest problems with the CR system: it overvalues AC, and undervalues damage. This is also why some goblins in later chapters seem too low CR, as they deal much more damage than it seems they should, to compensate for low AC. ### Akki Blizzard-Herder A number of Akki shamans known as the "Blizzard-herders" fight with storms of ice and snow. According to the History of Kamigawa, the most reputable source on the subject, "It is unknown whether Akki shamans can in fact create storms, or merely predict them". In either case, the effect is dangerous to any oponents who face them. ___ > ## Akki Blizzard Herder >*Small humanoid (goblinoid), chaotic evil* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 16 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 33(6d6 + 12) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|8 (-1)|14 (+2)|15 (+2)|8 (-1)|16 (+3)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Damage Resistances** fire, cold > - **Senses** passive Perception 13 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common, Druidic > - **Challenge** 4 (1,100 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Akki can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > > ***Storm Speaker,*** When Initiative is rolled, if the Akki is not surprised or indoors, a large snowstorm begins that covers a 1-mile radius cylinder that extends 20,000 feet up originating from a point the Blizzard Herder can see.

It has the following spells prepared: > - Cantrips (at will):Druidcraft, Frostbite, Shillelagh > - 1st level (4 slots): Ice Knife, Earth Tremor, Thunderwave > - 2nd level (3 slots): Spike Growth, Skywrite, Lesser Restoration > - 3rd level (2 slots): Sleet Storm, Erupting Earth > > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** The Akki makes two attacks with its Staff > > ***Staff.*** *Melee Weapon Attack* +1 to hit, reach 5ft. *hit:* 2 (1d6-1) bludgeoning damage or +5 to hit, reach 5ft. *hit:* 8 (1d8+3) bludgeoning damage with Shillelagh.

\page ### Ishi-Ishi Ishi-Ishi also known as "King of the flaming Pebbles", "Scourge of the Mountain Kami", and "Lover of Goats" was a legendary master of the Sling. He reportedly could load and fire flaming pebbles from his sling before the fire burned its cloth. He was most famous for using his sling to combat spirits and arcane casters attacking his home in the mountains. May his shell never burn.

These weapons are his Crystalline Blades, capable of redirecting pure mana back at foes who attempt to use magic against him. Combined with his skill as a warrior, he became a scourge to all that live near him, be they Human, Akki, or even Kami.

\page ### Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker Kiki-Jiki is an Akki very skilled in Illusion magic. This is an unusual form of magic to be used by an Akki, as Illusion is not normally associated with the destructive forces the Akki are interested in calling, nor is it associated with Druidic spellcasters, which most assume all akki "shamans" are. #### The Broken Mirror Kiki-Jiki was exiled from his tribe for annoying his elder, and later found himself in the lair of the Spirit Dragon Keiga. Keiga saw that Kiki-Jiki had inherrent magical talent, and sent him to steal a pearl from a human ambassador. On this mission, Kiki-Jiki found an enchanted mirror, and shattered it. This released Kiki-Jiki's mirror into the world, and awoke his innate magical power. #### The Duplication Sorcerer Kiki-Jiki continued to train his innate magical ability with Keiga. With his extreme talent for illusion, he discovered a way to summon other creature's reflections into a solid form to fight for him.

\page ## Lorwyn The goblins of Lorwyn, which called themselves "Boggarts", and were called "eyeblights" by the Elves of that plane, were extremely varied in their physical sizes and shapes. The only thingthey all have in common is that they are extremely perceptive, as their culture values new sensations over nearly anything else. Because of this, they are difficult to encapsulate within a single "default" boggart. Instead, represent the Boggarts as standard **Goblins** with a Wisdom of 14 (+2), expertise in Perception instead of Stealth, and a randomly determined trait from the following list: > ##### Goblin Variant: Boggart > > The goblin has one of the following variations > > **d%** > - 1-50%: **Aesthetic Change.** The boggart's differences are purly visual, requiring no stat modification (such as an oversized head, or being a strange color) > > - 51-60%: **Long Limbed:** The boggart's arms are strangely long, increasing the reach of their melee attacks by 5ft. > - 61-70%: **Natural Weapon:** The boggart has horns or a toothy maw that give it a new unnarmed attack: **Gore.** or **Bite.** *melee weapon attack* +1 to hit, *hit*: 5 (1d12-1) piercing damage and the target must make a DC 10 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. > - 71-80%: **Prickly Body:** The boggart has large spines growing all over its body, giving it the following trait: **Spines:** Whenever a creature hits this creature with a melee attack from within 5ft. of it, that creature takes 3 (1d6) piercing damage. > - 81-90%: **Human-Like Proportions:** The boggart is visibly much more human-like than most. It's Strength and Charisma modifiers both increase to 10 (+0) > - 91-95% **Diminutive Form** The boggart is Tiny instead of Small. It's health decreases to 5 (2d4), its Dexterity is increased to 19 (+4), and its Shortbow and Scimitar attacks become +6 to hit *hit:* 5 (1+4) damage. > - 96-99% **Oversized Form** The boggart is Medium instead of small. It's health increases to 9 (2d8), its Dexterity is reduced to 13 (+1), and its Scimitar and Shortbow attacks become +3 to hit *hit:* 8 (2d6+1) > - 00% **Extreme Difference** Roll on the table until you get the same result twice. All results rolled occur (Oversized and Diminutive cancel out.) Credit: ___ Thomas Denmark ___ WotC

``` ``` ### Boggart Shamans The Boggarts of Lorwyn have roles as divers as their bodies. Boggarts with magical abilities go on to become shamans, with variance even within that class of boggart. #### Fire Jugglers The Fire Jugglers, despite sharing their title with non-magical circus performers, were in fact talented Fire shamans. The fire magic they controled would have been enough to start massive wildfires if they lived in drier areas than the swamps to which Boggarts were native. ___ > ## Boggart Fire Juggler >*Small humanoid (goblinoid), Chaotic Neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 12 (leather armor) > - **Hit Points** 16(5d6) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|8 (-1)|13 (+1)|11 (+0)|7 (-1)|16 (+3)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Skills** Perception +7 > - **Senses** passive Perception 17 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 1 (200 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Boggart can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > > ***Spellcasting.*** The Boggart is a 4th level spellcaster.

It has the following Druid spells prepared. > - Cantrips (at will): Create Bonfire, Control Flames, Gust > - 1st level (4 slots): Faerie Fire, Absorb Elements, Beast Bond, Fog Cloud > - 2nd level (3 slots): Flaming Sphere, Flame Blade, Heat Metal > > ### Actions > > ***Tarfire (Recharge 5-6).*** *Ranged Spell Attack:* +5 to hit, range 60ft., one target. *Hit* 10 (2d6 + 3) Fire damage. If the target is a a creature or flammable object, it ignites. Until a creature takes an action to douse the fire, the target takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

\page #### Lightning Crafters Boggart Lightning Crafters, born with an innate connection to lightning, were among the most powerful Shamans the Boggarts had when it comes to combat, with the exception of their Aunties.

The lightning crafter can move each sphere up to 30ft. in any direction as a bonus action on each of its turns. When an enemy of the Lightning Crafter comes within 5 feet of one of the spheres, it must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (5d4) lightning damage as the sphere discharges its energy and disappears. ___ #### Wierding Shamans Boggarts, although likely capable of traditional reproduction, seldom had the time for it. It was then very useful when certain Boggart shamans discovered how to directly manipulate Boggart flesh with magic, in such ways as to enable Boggarts to be turned into more boggarts. Or weapons.

\page ### Boggart Aunties Boggart Tribes were led by their "Auntie", a shaman more powerful than any other shaman in the tribe. This power is usually a result of being the oldest. They are the only Boggarts which learn healing magic. They were in charge of overseeing the Weirding of the tribe's boggarts, which led to the saying "Not every Boggart has a mother, but they all have an Auntie", which was the origin of the title. It should be noted that because of this idiomatic origin, not all Aunties are female.

PART 4 | Lorwyn

\page ### Auntie Wort Wort, Auntie of Aunties, was the de facto leader of all Boggarts on Lorwyn. She attained this status by being the most powerful spellcaster of all the Boggarts. It is not a close competition. #### Oldest and Wisest Auntie Wort did not acquire her immense magical ability through luck. She learned the secrets to her powers over an extremely long life (at least for a Boggart). She was the oldest Boggart to ever live, and she owes that to her intelligence. She knows what foods are and aren't poisonous, she could tell how hard it would be to trick a person at first sight of them, and she knew how to escape consequences of getting something wrong. #### Boggart Witchcraft Auntie Wort invented many of the strange magics used by Boggarts, and so has a better understanding of them than any other Boggart.

PART 4 | Lorwyn

\page ## Shadowmoor There is a reason all the descriptions of the Lorwyn goblins were in past tense. The entire plane was warped and twisted by a magical Aurora created by the Fairy Queen Oona, which turned it into Shadowmoor, a plane where the sun never rises. This Aurora warped not only the world, but also its inhabitants, resulting in much more savage Goblins to inhabit the plane. However, it also exaggerated the differences in the Boggarts, resulting in having many more kinds of goblin than just the Boggarts. ### Boggarts The goblins least affected by the Aurora still call themselves Boggarts, but that is where the similarity ends. The wide variety found in Boggarts has been eliminated, as goblins with other traits were warped into entirely different species of goblins. The remaining "boggarts" have had their society entirely warped, no longer valuing the knowledge and shared sensations that made them able to maintain peace amongst themselves. There are no longer any blue-skinned Boggarts, and their physical bodies are more human-like in shape than most goblins, with the exceptions of their heads, which are horned and filled with carnivorous fangs.

Credit: Steve Prescott, courtesy of WotC #### Boggart Leadership The Boggarts of Shadowmoor no longer have "Aunties", as they no longer have the knowledge of the "weirding". As a result, the de facto leader of any Boggart clan is just whomever doesn't get killed when they try to boss around their fellow Boggarts. As a result, many clans go completely leaderless, most boggart "leaders" being either shamans or boggarts who managed to steal some decent armor. ___ > ## Shadowmoor Boggart >*Small humanoid (goblinoid), chaotic evil* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 13 (leather armor) > - **Hit Points** 7(2d6) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|10 (+0)|14 (+2)|10 (+)|6 (-2)|8 (-1)|10 (+0)| >___ > - **Skills** Intimidation +2 > - **Senses** Darkvision 60ft. passive Perception 9 > - **Languages** Goblin > - **Challenge** 1/2 (100 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Boggart can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** The Boggart makes two attacks, one with its Improvised Blade, one with its Bite. > > ***Improvised Blade.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 4 (1d4+2) piercing or slashing damage. > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +2 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 6 (1d12) piercing damage.

Credit: Jesper Ejsing, courtesy of WotC ### Boggart Shamans Since there are no Aunties, the Shamans of Shadowmoor are looked to for all Boggart magic, and most of its leadership. Their magic is less powerful than the Boggarts of Lorwyn, but more focused on aiding other Boggarts, as they are often looked to for leadership.

She is still the closest theing the Boggarts as a whole have to a "leader", but now its is only because no boggart would dare question her.

PART 5 | Shadowmoor

\page ### Hobgoblins Shadowmoor Hobgoblins are extremely unlike the Forgotten realms goblinoids of the same name. Firstly, their physical appearance is distinctly goblin-like with green skin and short stature, rather than the humanoid proportions and orange skin of Forgotton Realms hobgoblins. The only thing that visually distinguishes them from a standard Goblin is their bright red hair. #### Hobgoblin Society Unique among nearly all goblins, the Hobgoblins of Shadowmoor have built an almost human-like society, complete with agriculture. Of course, in true goblin fassion, they sharpen their farming impliments into weapons, but the very concept of "Goblin farming impliments" is foreign to most worlds.

Shadowmoor Redcaps can be easily identified by their pale white skin, pink eyes and cap permanently soaked with fresh blood.

\page ### Tattermunge Goblins The goblins of the Tattermunge Gang are similar to Boggarts in a few ways, but they make themselves unique through a quirk of their culture: they enter every battle or hunt wearing the last thing they killed.

This one has had its CR set to equal that of the Tridrone, which has the same AC, the same average damage output, and slightly higher health. ``` ``` #### Tattermunge Witches The Witches of the Tattermunge Gang focus their magic on making their fellow goblins stronger. The Tattermunge goblins do not know the name of the spell that whip them into a chaotic frenzy, but they know they love it.

\page ### Scuzzback Goblins The Goblins of the Scuzzback gang cover themselves in rusting, jagged metal armor. This both provides them with better protection than the hide or leather worn by other goblins in Shadowmoor, while at the same time covering them in jagged deterents to attackers.

Because the Szuzzback's damage output is between that of the Quadrone and the Pentadrone (Both on page 226 of the MM), the Scuzzback goblin could be CR 1 or 2. I chose 2 by flipping a coin, in the grand Krark tradition. ``` ``` ### Vexing Shusher The goblins known only as Vexing Shushers are shamans which eat a steady diet of Bloodcap mushrooms. It has been noted that the stench of bloodcap mushrooms has a potent antimagic effect, which the Shusher weaponizes by shushing those who attempt to counter their spells.

\page ### Stream Hoppers The Stream Hoppers are easily the most pitiable race of goblins created by the Aurora. They are sometimes seen as half-goblins, not because they are half something else, but because, possessing one eye, one arm, and one leg, they are roughly half a standard goblin. The one upside to their current state is that their leg muscles are extremely well developed as a result of having to hop everywhere, and they can now clear an entire stream in one leap, which is where they get their name.

It's long jump is up to 40 ft., and its high jump is up to 20ft, without a runing start because it cannot run. If the Stream Hopper passes within 5ft. of a flying creature during its jump, it may make a single claw attack against that creature as a bonus action. > > ### Actions > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +6 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 6 (1d4 + 4)

##### Best Boi Award This is just a commemorative text box to aknowledge the Stream Hoppers prestigious achivement of being Best Boi.

``` ``` ### Mudbrawlers The Mudbrawlers are the result of the Aurora further exaggerating the strength of what were previously oversized boggarts. The result is a race of goblins strong enough to punch through solid stone. There are legends of Mudbrawlers instructed to travel "through the mountains" who took the instructions literally, and punched a tunnel all the way through.

\page ### Spriggans The Spriggans of Shadowmoor are the goblins most affected by the Aurora. Their physical proportions are distorted, having unnaturally long legs and broad shoulders. More visually distinct than the proportions, though, is the raw mana coming off its body in the form of the swirling colors of the Aurora.

Credit: Thomas M. Baxa, Courtesy of WotC #### Colors of Magic When the Fae Queen created the Great Aurora in an attempt to restore balance to Lorwyn, the remaining magic from the plane-warping energy permanently reshaped how every creature connected to the 5 colors of mana. This power then latched onto the Spriggans, resulting in them being permanently surrounded by a powerful aura that can enthrall creatures with its patterns or distort a creature's connection to magic. ``` ``` ___ > ## Swirling Spriggan >*Medium Humanoid (Goblinoid), chaotic evil* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 17 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 136 (16d8 + 64) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|20 (+5)|12 (+1)|18 (+4)|14 (+2)|12 (+1)|20 (+5)| >___ > - **Skills** Intimidation +9, Arcana +10, History +6 > - **Senses** Truesight 60ft. passive Perception 11 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 11 (7,200 XP) > ___ > ***Swirling Colors.*** Whenever a creature begins its turn within 15ft. of the Spriggan, they must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be Incapacitated until the beginning of their next turn as they are enthralled by the swirling colors of the Aurora. > > ***Mana Warping.*** Whenever a creature attempts to cast a spell while within 30ft. of the Spriggan, they must make a DC 13 Wisdom save or cast a different spell of the same level (they still choose, but it can't be what they were initially trying). > > > ***Spellcasting.*** The Spriggan is a 13th level spellcaster.

\page ## Mirrodin The plane of Mirrodin is influenced by the presence of one extremely unique substance: Phyrexian Oil. This Oil can turn organic matter into metal. The result is a world which contains many more magic items, as well as creatures with metal growing on their skin. For goblins, this means being armored at all times and having so many magic items, they can be treated as disposable. ### Mirrodin Goblin Unlike other planes, the goblins of Mirrodin don't have a unique name, referring to themselves as "Goblin". However, the fact that they have partially metal skin and mechanical parts naturally incorporated into their bodies makes them notably more powerful than normally.

This is one of the more intricate machines produced inside Goblin bodies by the Oil, and provides them a sizable combat advantage.

PART 6 | Mirrodin

\page ### Goblin Brawler Strangely even to their fellow Goblins, there are some Goblins on Mirrodin that choose to eschew metal weapons, despite their metal skin. These goblins tend to be much stronger than their normal counterparts as well as having more "natural" metal on them, and they would likely be an actual threat if they would pick up an axe.

For instance, a Zombie is not an *Undead (human).* This is the case in order for Rangers to not be able to gain the benefits of Favored Enemy against undead by picking Human. > However, in MtG, while undead Humans are just Zombies, undead Goblins are both Zombies and Goblins. ``` ``` ### Goblin Replica The goblin replica is the result of an attempt to create a synthetic goblin. It is, in every sense of the word, a goblin. It is affected by all goblin-specific magic, it counts as a goblinoid for any goblin-specific effect, but it is entirely made of metal. #### Constructed Nature The goblin replica does not need to eat, drink, or sleep.

PART 6 | Mirrodin

\page ### The Krark Clan The Krark Clan is by a wide margin the most prominent clan of Goblins on Mirrodin, as they were the first goblins to arrive on the plane. Their society is built entirely around getting and destroying magic items. They worship a forge deity called the "Great Mother", whom they honor by crafting new magic items, and throwing their failures (and dead goblins) into the Great Furnace. > ##### Krark-Clan magic items. > It should be noted that Mirrodin is an extremely high-magic setting. Every single member of the Krark Clan can be expected to be carrying 1d4 uncommon magic items, with higher-ranking goblins (such as the Stokers or Engineers) carrying 1 rare magic item as well. If you are worried about overloading your players with magic, don't run Krark Clan goblins. Seriously, Magic Item abuse is their entire identity. To determine randomly what magic items they have, use Magic Item Table F on page 146 of the DMG. > ___ > In addition to uncommon magic items from the DMG, the Krark Clan often has the following (all of which require attunement): > >##### krark magic items. | Item | Function | |:----:|:-------------| | Baton of Courage | 3 charges/day, 1 charge as a bonus action to end a Frightened effect | | Bonesplitter | Battleaxe that deals 1d10/1d12 slashing damage instead of 1d8/1d10 | | Cranial Plating | Melee attacks deal +1 damage for each magic item the goblin is attuned to | | Fireshrieker | 3 charges/day, 1 charge to Burning Hands as a bonus action | | Grafted Wargear | Goblin's Strength and Constitution increase by 2, if becomes unattuned (or wargear is destroyed) the goblin dies. | | Heartseeker | Dagger that gives advantage on thrown attacks | | Lightning Greaves | The goblin's movement speed is doubled | | Skullclamp | The goblin has half as many hitpoints, but when it dies all other goblin within 30ft. of it with an expended spell slot get a spell slot back.

\page ### Krark-Clan Engineers The Engineers of the Krark Clan are responsible for finding the most optimal ways to sacrifice magic items and constructs to the Great Mother. As a result, they carry many more magic items with them, but never seem to have them for long.

Credit: Pete Venters, courtesy of WotC > ##### Engineers and Magic Items > The Krark Clan Engineers carry even more magic items than other Krark Clan members. The average engineer keeps a Bag of Holding containing 1d4 items they have don't know how to use, as well as 1d6 uncommon magic items from the DMG, and one rare magic item from the DMG. To determine all of these items randomly, roll on magic item table B for the items in the Bag of Holding, table F for the Uncommon items, and table G for the Rare item. You may replace any of these items with one item from the **Krark Magic Items** table on page 23. > ___ > > **Magic Item Destruction.** The Engineer's ability to destroy the Party's magical items is meant to be annoying, but not obnoxious. Remember, this creature only exists in a setting so high-magic that every single goblin can be expected to have magic items. Again, if that sounds like too much, DON'T RUN THE KRARK CLAN. MAGIC ITEMS ARE ALL THEY DO. ___ > ## Krark-Clan Engineer >*Medium humanoid (goblinoid), chaotic neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 18 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 65(10d6 + 30) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|16 (+3)|10 (+0)|17 (+3)|16 (+3)|9 (-1)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Skills** Arcana +6 > - **Senses** passive Perception 9 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 7 (2,900 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The goblin can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > > ***Magic Item Intuition*** The Krark-Clan Engineer can attune to a magic item as a bonus action. > > ***Spellcasting.*** The Goblin is a 6th level spellcaster.

A single target the Engineer can see within 60ft. of it must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 55 (10d10) force damage and have one magic item they are wearing or carrying be destroyed. A successful save prevents the item destruction and halves the damage. >

PART 6 | Mirrodin

\page ### Slobad Slobad was the smartest goblin on all of Mirrodin. He was born during the Black Sun's Zenith, an omen so terrible that all other goblins born under that star were immediately thrown into the Great Furnace. However, Slobad's mother instead sent him away, and when he re-emmerged, he was still unwelcome among the Krark Clan for no reason other than that his intelligence and affinity for artifacts were seen as unnatural. #### Slobad's Ascension At one point in his life, Slobad momentarily ascended to godhood, but then rescinded his godhood in order to save the lives of all other living things on Mirrodin. To represent his god-form, he is an intermediate deity with the Life, Forge, and Knowledge domains.

PART 6 | Mirrodin

\page ## Scarred Mirrodin/New Phyrexia Following the cataclysm that Slobad gave up godhood in order to mitigate, Mirrodin was forever changed. The plane itself was forever warped, and the goblins were too. Their proportions were twisted, resulting in thier mouths being nearly as large as the rest of their bodies and large claws. In addition to this scarring, the plane was invaded by Phyrexians, resulting in what was known as the "Grand Compleation". This is not a corruption of the word "completion", but instead an archaic term meaning "having all desired elements" which is used by the Phyrexians to describe the total replacement of all organic elements with artifice. ### New War, New Goblins The goblins of New Phyrexia actively resist Compleation. As a result, they often have noticeably less "Naturally" occouring metal on their bodies. This means that they have to wear actual armor, but that is not a difficult thing to find in a world where you can hunt animalms for their metal hides.

However, like other goblins in New Phyrexia, they have noticeably less metal on their bodies than their old Mirrodin counterparts. In addition, the added combat prowess the spikes give them in New Phyrexia leads them to often become tribal elders.

PART 7 | New Phyexia

\page ### Goblin Gaveleer The plane of New Phyrexia contains creatures other than Goblins, and one of those other races are the Giants. Goblins quite like big hammers. The result is goblins with hammers larger than themselves. It is not clear how they use these hammers, but use them they do.

Once again, I flipped a coin. ### Blisterstick Shaman Despite the widespread destruction wrought by Memnarch and later the Phyrexians, some of the magic items from Mirrodin persist in New Phyrexia. Now being nearly as rare as they are in the Forgotten Realms, Magic Items are seen by goblins as proof of the Great Mother's love, and those that find them devote their lives to learing how to use them, both as intended and as a magical focus.

PART 6 | New Phyrexia

\page ### Goblin Wardrivers Perhaps the wisest saying to come out of any goblin other than Slobad is "A true warrior fights with whatever's handy". This became especially true when the magic items the Krark Clan had relied on were destroyed, the metal skin that protected them became the mark of the enemy, and the landscape is covered with jagged metal slag. The new war against Phyrexians lead to the emergence of a new class of Heroic Goblin Leaders: the Wardrivers

A solo Wardriver would have a CR of 4 (1,100) ### Oxidda Daredevil The goblins of the Krark-Clan, no longer able to find as many magical items to feed to the Furnace, have found it necessary to bring the Furnace to the magic items. As such, they have invented the Oxidda Bikes, rocket-powered vehicles fueled by burning magic items. An Oxidda bike is a **War Machine** that does not use Soul Coins as fuel, instead burning any magic item. For complete rules on War Machines, see Baldur's Gate: Decent into Avernus page 216. An Oxidda Daredevil is a **New Phyrexian Goblin** (page 27) riding an Oxiddan Bike.

PART 7 | New Phyrexia

\page ### Blackcleave Goblins The goal of the Phyrexians is to Compleat (re: remove all organic matter from) all living things. They do this primarily by spearding the Phyrexian Oil, but there is another method. This is the disease known as Phyresis, a plague which gradually replaces all living tissue in a living thing with metal and machinery. A goblin infected with Phyresis is called a Blackcleave Goblin, and they are overcome with the need to spread their plague.

Credit: Nils Hamm, courtesy of WotC ___ > ## Blackcleave Goblin >*Small humanoid (goblinoid), chaotic evil* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 18 (Natural Armor) > - **Hit Points** 22(4d6+8) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|15 (+2)|16 (+3)|15 (+2)|8 (-1)|8 (-1)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Senses** passive Perception 12 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 1 (200 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Goblin take the Disengage or hide actions as a bonus action on each of its turns. > > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** The Goblin makes three attacks: one with its bite, two with its claws. > > ***Bite.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +4 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 6 (1d8 + 2) piecing damage, and the trget must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or contract Phyresis. > > ***Claw.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. *Hit* 5 (1d4 + 3) slashing damage. > **Phyresis:** >A Creature Infected with Phyresis must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its long Rests. On a Failure, the creature gains a +1 natural armor bonus to their AC while not wearing any armor. After this bonus reaches +5, the creature no longer makes Constitution Saves against this effect, but they gain the flaw "I must spread Compleation", and their allignment becomes Evil. ### Compleat Goblins Some goblins who were exposed to Phyrexian oil or contracted Phyresis achieve the Phyrexian Ideal. They have no organic material left in their bodies. They are Compleat. **Constructed Nature** Compleat goblins do not need to eat, drink, or sleep.

That is the recommended Armor Class for a CR 30 creature. I based the Compleat Goblin's CR on the Roper, a CR 5 creature with an AC of 20. The Roper has an offensive CR of 5, equal to its actual CR. The Compleat Goblin's offensive CR is 3, so I made it CR 3.

PART 7 | New Phyrexia

\page ## Eldraine The goblins of Eldraine call themselves Redcaps. They are not to be confused with the fey redcaps of the Forgotten realms, nor the redcaps of Shadowmoor (page 16). Eldraine Redcaps dye their hair, hats, and hands bright red. It is often said they dye themselves with blood, but this is actually not the case, as blood is not as bright as they want for their hats. They are visibly stronger than most worlds' goblins, with some also being notably taller. Unlike the cowardly goblins of Dominaria, Redcaps are known for being as brave as they are savage.

Attack Bonus is handled basically the same way AC is, despite having considerably less effect. Because, unlike with AC issues, I can find no difinitive counterexample, I have elected to present it as CR 1, as that is what the DMG says it should be. ``` ``` ### Raging Redcaps The redcaps of Eldrain survive by raiding human and elven settlements. Usually, these attacks can be repelled after just a few things have been stolen. However, sometimes the Redcaps steal actually useful equipment, and an armored redcap is a much more signigicant threat. The feeling of being indestructible is one that drives Redcaps into a massive frenzy, leading them to be more destuctive than the average Ogre.

It's health is equivalent of a CR 1/4, and its damage is equivalent of of CR one. These are both true of the CR 1 Quadrone, but the quadrone only has +4 to hit, so I made it CR 2.

PART 8 | Eldraine

\page ### Grumgully, the Generous. Extremely little is known about the goblin known as Grumgully. It is assumed that he(?) is the leader of the Eldraine redcaps, as he is the only one that doesn't feel the need to wear a red cap, instead dying his large beard red. #### The Fungal Shaman Grumgully is, as far as anyone can tell, the only Shaman the recaps have. He uses his magic to resist the encroachment of humans into the wildlands the Goblin (and also elves, animals, and mythical beasts) call home. As such, he is one of the only goblins in the plane to accept non-goblin allies.

PART 8 | Eldraine

> ##### Balance Note: Claim the Firstborn > One of Grumgully's core abilities is Claim the Firstborn, a magical ability the strength of which depends on how strong the enemies fighting him are. There is no way to balance this, but I couldn't just not give it to Grumgully, as it is the iconic red spell from Eldraine (shut up Embercleave). It has been mostly ignored for purposes of CR calculation. \page ## Tarkir The plane of Tarkir was once ruled by the great Khans (except not really, it's complicated), and among these khans, the clan of Mardu contained a large number of goblins. The goblins of Mardu had grey-green skin and red hair, and overwhelmingly fought from horseback.

She became known as one of the greatest warriors in the entire Mardu clan, eventually leading her to teach other goblins her ways, resulting in some confusion as to whether "Ankle Shanker" is a single goblin, or "ankle shankers" are a class of goblins trained by the Mardu. Both are true.

PART 9 | Tarkir

\page ### Dragonlord's Servants The timeline of the Khans and the Mardu goblins was destroyed by a planeswalking scaly called Sarkhan who decided that it was more important that a planeswalking dragon named Ugin exist than it was that Tarkir exist in a livable state. The result is the plane now having always been completely dominated by dragons, who have enslaved most non-dragon life. Goblins in this timeline exist almost exclusively as slaves to the dragons Atarka and Kolaghan. These goblins are much smaller and more docile than the goblins of the Khans timeline, and they survive by rubbing themselves with foul-smelling substances in order to make themselves unappetizing as food.

Since this timeline's goblins are overwhelmingly worthless as soldiers, it doesn't work. Silumgar then wakes the dead goblins as Shambling Goblins, who then kill the next wave of goblins. Simlumgar considers this a fun little game. **Undead Nature** A Shambling goblin doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep.

This is this timeline's version of Ankle Shanker, now known as Vial Smasher #### Vials of Dragonfire Vial Smasher is the only goblin brave enough to fight with Vials of Dragon fire, large literal vials containing condensed, liquid dragon fire.

\page ## Ravnica Ravnica, the City of Guilds, is home to a wide variety of Goblins. These goblins, like every other denizen of Ravnica, are split into the various guilds of ravnica, with very different goblins filling very different roles in each guild. ### Guildless Goblins

Credit: Yeong-Hao Han, courtesy of WotC ___ The vast majority of Guildless Goblins are not terribly noteworthy in the grand scheme of Goblins. A generic Guildless Goblin is best represented as a **Goblin** as they appear in the Monster Manual. However, there are a few notable exceptions ___ #### Goblin Guttersnipe A Guttersnipe is a guildless goblin with notable skill with lightning magic. These goblins are often exiles from the Izzet league, and harbor sentiments that favor the destruction of the megacity.

They are best represented as **Bugbears** from the Monster Manual.

PART 10 | Ravnica

\page #### Riot Pikers Some goblins in Ravnica are considerably taller than others, with some even reaching human-like heights and above. Among these are the Riot Pikers, who use their increased size to wield pikes too large for normal goblins, often improvised from a broomstick and one of the pointier Boros helmets.

PART 10 | Ravnica

\page #### Goblin Cratermaker The goblins that *do* choose to get creative with thier city destruction rarely live long. Although the popular term for these goblins is "cratermaker", the Goblin term more accurately translates to "Soon-to-be Crater". They take many pyrotechnic devices designed by the Izzet League and Rakdos Cult to be used in celebrations, and strap them all together into a large object only referred to as a "boom apparatus".

Sometimes, these goblins find a home with the Gruul or Boros, but usually they become muscle for local gangs. The extreme range in these goblins expresses itself in a magical battlecry which has the ability to render creatures shivering with fear. There is speculation that these abilities are the result of failed Izzet experiments.

The average goblin gang leader can be represented as a **Goblin Boss** from the Monster Manual. There are two Gangs whose leaders are too noteworthy to be written off in this way. #### The Shattergang Brothers The Shattergang Brothers were a trio of brothers named Rikkig, Gardagig, and Dargig, who learned to make powerful explosives. They use these explosives to destroy basically anything they are hired to destroy. The youngest brother, Dargig, was killed by Krenko, kicking off the largest gang war Ravnica has ever seen. ___ > ## Gardagig Shattergang >*Medium humanoid (Goblin), Chaotic Neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 16 (studded leather armor) > - **Hit Points** 105 (14d8+42) > - **Speed** 30ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|15 (+2)|19 (+4)|16 (+3)|18 (+4)|7 (-2)|8 (-1)| >___ > - **Senses** Darkvision 60ft. passive Perception 9 > - **Languages** Common, Goblin > - **Challenge** 8 (3,900 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Goblin can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > > ***Blast Resistance.*** Gardagig takes half damage from spells and effects that affect an area (such as a line, sphere, etc.) > ### Actions > ***Multiattack.*** Gardagig Shattergang throws two explosives. > > ***Anti-Magic Explosive.*** Gardagig throws one of Dargig's old bombs at a point he can see within 120 feet of himself, where it explodes in a 20ft. radius.

\page #### Krenko Krenko is the kingpin of basically all crime on Tin Street. He has a functionally unlimited amount of wealth at his disposal, primarily as a result of him being funded by a mysterious figure known only as "Mr. Taz" (It's Lazav. OF COURSE it's Lazav.) He is currently the 5th most wanted person by the Azorius Arrestors, but they can never get to him through his army of well-paid minions. ___ He killed Dargig Shattergang after the Shattergang brothers failed to deliver on an arms shipment he had ordered. At the time, he wasn't thinking about the ramifications, but it resulted in the biggest gang war in Ravnican history. > ##### Why this Statblock? > The Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica provides a statblock for Krenko, so why use this one?

Higher AC than DMG recommends, CR had to be artificially lowered in line with MM monsters. Since AC 17 is higher than any Modron has, the monster used in this case was the CR 1/4 Flying Sword (MM page 20). It has similar damage output and health to the Boros Recruit. The Banneret's Mentor ability gives it an effective +4 damage, so it's CR had to be increased to reflect that. ``` ``` #### Goblin Banerret Some Goblins who join up with the legion show themselves to be too talented at combat to be left at the level of recruit, but not skilled enough at tactics to be given any kind of command position.

\page #### Legion Loyalist Goblin Recruits that show some aptitude for tactical thinking go onto become Legion Loyalists. They are highly respected among the Boros legion, as this is the level at which a goblin can issue commands to standard soldiers. A Legion Loyalist can normally be found commanding a squadron of 6 Boros Soldiers, usually with one or two Frontline Medics (from Guildmaster's guide to Ravnica, page 231) among them.

These goblins go on to become Warbosses, a title given to goblins who command battalions of other goblins. They are able to marshal a group of Boros Recruits into an effective fighting force rivaling an Orzhov debt collection force.

\page ### Gruul Goblins

Credit: Wayne Reynolds, courtesy of WotC The goblins of the Gruul clans are by a wide margin the most varied goblins of any guild in Ravnica. The goblins of Gruul overall are best represented as **Anarchs** (GGtR), with the Goblinoid tag instead of "any humanoid". #### Rabble-Rouser Gruul goblins are not comfortable with just waiting for the next riot to occur, and take it on themselves to start riots. Some shamans actually take up a form of magic that allow them to strengthen and enrage their fellow goblins to help incite and carry out riots.

Credit: Justin Norman, courtesy of WotC #### Feral Animists Feral Animists are powerful druids in the Gruul clans. They are the most respected goblins in the Gruul clans, as they are the most powerful. A Feral Animist is a **Druid of the Old Ways** (GGtR), except it is small instead of medium, and it has the Goblinoid tag instead of "any humanoid".

\page ### The Izzet League The Izzet League has the second most goblins of any guild. Most Izzet Goblins have already been represented, as either one of the various **Blastseekers** or a **Scorchbringer Guard** from the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica. According to the GGtR, even **Mizzix of the Izmagnus** can be represented in this way. However, there are a couple goblins which cannot be represented as such. #### Goblin Test Pilots. The Izzet League frequently creates new and interesting flying machines. Goblins are always the ones to test these, and they usually enjoy it until it gets them killed.

It worked well enough that a new class of Izzet Goblin soldiers were created: the Flectomancers.

\page #### Mizzix of the Izmagnus Mizzix was once a lowly attendant, who, through a combination of her own talent for experiments and political cunning, she reached the highest level that anyone in the Izzet League possibly can: she attained a seat on the Izmagnus, the ruling council of all the Izzet. > ##### Why this Statblock? >As noted previously, the GGtR says that Mizzix can be represented as a Galvanic Blastseeker. However, given that Mizzix holds the highest possible title for any member of the Izzet other than its Parun, it seems unreasonable to have her be only a CR 5 creature, while the Nivix Cyclops, an Izzet creation which exists just to guard laboratories, is CR 8.

Each Creature in a 500ft. tall, 20ft. diameter cylinder originating from a point Mizzix can see must make a DC 18 Strength saving throw or take 35 (10d6) lightning damage and be pulled 60ft. straight up. A successful save halves the damage and prevents being lifted into the air. > >### Reactions > ***Ionize.*** When Mizzix sees a creature cast a spell within 30ft. of her, she attempts to reduce the spell to its component parts. She must make an Intelligence (Arcana) check of DC equal to 10+ the spell's level. If she succeeds, the spell is countered, and the caster takes 11 (2d10) lightning damage. > >### Legendary Actions > Mizzix can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below.

\page ### Rakdos Goblins The Rakdos Cult does not have many goblins, and those goblins that do associate with the Rakdos cult usually are actually worshippers of Krokt, the Goblin God of bad luck. There are only two main types of Goblins that truly follow the Rakdos: #### Spike Jesters The Spike Jesters of Rakdos are goblins who cut off their own arms in order to replace them with spiked weapons. They are as insane and violent as that would imply.

This attracts people of all kinds as both audience and as participant. Goblins who get involved in this brutal sport take it perhaps more seriously than any other goblin (other than Slobad) takes anything in the world. The result is the Kill-Suit cultist,a goblin wearing a suit of armor entirely covered in spikes.

\page ## Alara The world of Alara was shattered into multiple shards by an event known as The Sundering. The goblins of Alara resided on the shard of Jund, where they live at the very bottom of the food chain. They are so used to being eaten that their culture as grown to glorify death and view themselves as the world's "Divine Food". After the Conflux, during which the shards were reunited, this food chain collapsed, but the goblin culture that formed around it did not. The goblins themselves are physically similar to most other goblins, and can be represented as standard **Goblins**, with the only exceptions being goblins that hold a special place in goblin Culture ### Goblin Deathraiders Very rarely, while they aren't dying horribly, goblins engage in pitched battles against other creatures of Jund and, since the Conflux, other shards.

All dragon's heralds that contribute to this chance are eaten as soon as the dragon arrives. The dragon may or may not be hostile to the Herald's enemies, depending on if it is still hungry afterwards.

PART 12 | Alara

\page ## Zendikar The Zendikari goblins fall into two categories: Pre- and Post-Eldrazi. There are enough physical differences between the two categories that it is necessary to split their entry. ### Pre-Eldrazi Zendikari Goblins Prior to the Eldrazi being released, the goblins of Zendikar were like any other **Goblins** (MM). They were small, green-skinned, big eared humanoids who liked shiny things. Among the relatively normal goblins of Zendikar, a few still stand out: #### Goblin Arsonist Not much to say about this one. Fire goes whoosh. Goblin like.

The rattling itself is not magical, instead being just a method to drown out the screams that occur during a battle. The Shaman does, howeve, use its rattle as a focus for its spellcasting.

PART 13 | Zendikar

\page #### Lavafume Invoker The Invokers of Zendikar were people who have learned to directly draw upon the power of the land itself. Goblins learned how to do this by breathing fumes from lava, and understanding the visions brought about as a result.

Each creature of its choice within 30ft. of it gains 7 (2d6) temporary hit points, and each other creature in that area must succeed a DC 14 Saving throw or take 21 (6d6) poison damage. ``` ``` #### Slavering Nulls When a Zendikari Vampire drains all blood from a victim, that victim is reanimated as a Null, a faceless undead creature somewhere between a Zombie and a Vampire Spawn in strength. Goblins subjected to this process remain uniquely goblin despite the change in creature type in much the same way that Compleat Goblins (page 30) do.

\page #### Tuktuk

Tuktuk was a famous goblin explorer who delved into the various ruins all across Zendikar seeking the various treasures found inside, until one day he was transformed by something he found. Tuktuk the Explorer was a **Goblin Boss** as in the MM. Tuktuk the Returned is as follows: **Constructed Nature** Tuktuk the Returned does not need to eat, drink, or sleep.

Each target must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this magic. On a failed save, a target can't take reactions, its speed is halved, and it can't make more than one attack on its turn. In addition, the creature can take either an action or a bonus action on its turn, not both. These effects last for 1 minute. A target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. > > ### Legendary Actions > Tuktuk can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn.

PART 13 | Zendikar

\page ### Post-Eldrazi Goblins After the Eldrazi escaped their containment, much of the natural life on the plane of Zendikar was destroyed. This resulted in a sever famine which threatened to further cripple the Zendikari goblins. They then decided to start eating rocks to supplement their diet. Somehow, not only did this not kill them, the resulting extremely mineral-dense diet (called "grit") resulted in them getting stony skin which is more difficult to pierce, in addition to unique rocky growths on their heads.

This was not because they recognized the powerful magic contained within, but because they are nearly indestructable objects that already have points.

PART 13 | Zendikar

\page #### Fireblade Charger Zendikar is a plane with many magical treasures. Given the sheer volume of ancient ruins with magic items, it becomes inevitable that a few goblins get their hands on magic items above what they could normally hope for. This led to the existence of the Fireblade Chargers, goblins who trained themselves to use magic items more effectively.

In this way, the Fissure Wizards of Zendikar are fairly unique. They are also unique in that unlike most wizards, they still derive some of their power directly from channeling the magma flows that naturally exist in Zendikar.

PART 13 | Zendikar

\page #### Zada, Hedron Grinder Zada is a member of the Tuktuk tribe of goblins, led by Tuktuk the Returned. Since post-eldrazi Goblins develop large stony plates from eating magical rocks, Zada had the idea to eat the most magical rocks the Tuktuk clan had ever seen: namely, the rocks making up Tuktuk the returned. This worked, somehow, and she is now the greatest warrior in the Tuktuk tribe. #### Hedron Grinding Zada gets her title from her weapons of choice. The club she carries and the backpack she wears are in fact a massive mortar and pestle which she uses to grind up hedrons and strike enemies with their magic.

Credit: Chris Rallis, courtesy of WotC ___ ___ > ## Zada >*Small humanoid (goblinoid), chaotic neutral* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 17 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 113(15d6 + 60) > - **Speed** 36ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|18 (+4)|14 (+2)|19 (+4)|14 (+2)|5 (-3)|13 (+1)| >___ > - **Damage Resistances** bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical weapons. > - **Senses** passive Perception 7 > - **Languages** Goblin, Common > - **Challenge** 14 (11,500 XP) > ___ > ***Nimble Escape.*** The Goblin can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of its turns. > > ***Legendary Resistance (3/day).*** When Zada fails a saving throw, she may choose to succeed instead. > > ***Hedron Skin.*** Any time Zada becomes the target of the spell, she may choose to share the effects of that spell with any number of willing creatures within 60ft. of her.

It is unclear if this is actually Zada's doing, or a coincidence. Each creature in a 250ft. tall 40ft. radius cylinder centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 28 (8d6) fire damage, or half on a successful save. The land in that cylinder becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute as the lava covers it, and each creature that starts its turn on the ground in that area takes 14 (4d6) fire damage. > > ### Legendary Actions > >Zada can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Zada regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turns. > > ***Pestle.*** Zada makes a single attack with her pestle. > > ***Expedite (costs 2 actions).*** Zada targets a single willing creature she can see within 30ft. of her.

PART 13 | Zendikar

\page ## Fiora Fiora is a plane shrouded by intrigue and mystery, and the goblins of that plane... are even less subtle than most goblins. They stand 4-5 feet tall, as tall as Forgotten Realms Dwarves, and just as broad.

PART 14 | Fiora

\page ### Grenzo Grezo is the largest goblin on Fiora. Excluding the mutant goblins of Dominaria, he may be the largest goblin on any plane. He stands as high as 3 standard Fioran goblins on top of each other, putting him somwhere between 12 and 15 feet tall, despite a severe hunchback, making him larger than some ogres. #### Dungeon Warden In addition to his immense size, Grenzo is the second smartest goblin on Fiora. He was able to manuever himself into a position as the head jailer for the city of Paliano. From this position, he built a massive network of criminals who owe him debts from him letting them out early. His network of agents is so massive that, despite claiming to have never killed anyone himself, he is arguably responsible for the majority of all crime on the plane (especially since the Nobility legalized all the crimes they commit, including murder). #### Havoc Raiser When Queen Marchesa came into power, she fired Grenzo because she recognized how dangerous he was. However, this was a bit too late, as Grenzo had already assembled a full-sized standing army of criminals by that point. He, alongside Daretti, now leads an open revolt against the treatment of Goblins as second-class citizens.

PART 14 | Fiora

\page ### Daretti Daretti was the only goblin on Fiora to overcome the societal disadvantages Goblins on the plane are stuck with to attend the Academy. This academy has no grander name because it is the only academy in Paliano. While at the academy, he proved himself to be an extremely talented artificer, but most of the world might never have known that, as Professor Fimarell stole his ideas and declared they were his own. #### Planeswalker Daretti is a Planeswalker, a term characterised by the ability to travel between planes at will using a "spark" in the planeswalker's soul. Daretti's planeswalker spark was ignited by an explosion caused by one of his experiments. Since his body was no longer in Fiora, people assumed he was killed. Instead, only his legs were destroyed, which he than promptly replaced with the Cogwork land crawler he rides to this day. #### Ingenious Iconoclast After replacing his legs, Daretti decided that he would return to Fiora. Once he did, he found that the king had been slain, and Grenzo was leading a Goblin rebellion against the tyrany of the plane's nobility. He decided to join in with this rebellion, giving Grenzo the information needed to topple the Academy, and only afterword learing of Fimarell's plagiarism.

\page ## Kylem Very little is known about the plane of Kylem, other than the combat-games which occur in the enormous stadium known as Valor's Reach. The goblins of Kylem are easily recognized by their wing-like ears, but other than that they are exeedingly normal **Goblins** (MM). However, like all planes, there are a couple exceptions. ### Goblin Fanatics At Valor's Reach, having goblins cheering for you is coveted more than almost any other type of fandom. This is because somehow, the exitement of a Kylem Goblin can sometimes manifest into a powerful magical boon.

When a creature it can see casts that spell, the goblin can cheer so enthusiasticly that creatures affected by that spell gain disadvantage on the first saving throw the spell calls for. ``` ``` >##### Goblin Syncretism The goblins which participate in the Games at Valor's Reach use tactics similar to goblins of other planes, including their own versions of **Battle Rattle Shamans** (page 51), Goblin Razerunners which are **Goblin Deathraiders** (page 50) wielding a torch instead of a spear, and Flamewave Invokers, which are **Lavafume Invokers** (Page 52) with the Lavafumes action replaced with the following: > >***Flamewave (Recharge 5-6).*** The Invoker sends out a wave of fire from its hands. Each Creature in a 60ft. cone must succeed a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 32 (5d12) fire damage. ### Potion Vendors Valor's Reach often has a large number of goblin vendors outside peddling their wares. Among these there are always a few goblins selling magic potions.

\page ## Bablovia Bablovia is the best plane. The goblins of bablovia were once momentarily enslaved by Steamflogger Industries, before almost immediately rising up and exploding the entire corporate entity, replacing it with their own giant Goblin union, the Goblin Explosioneers. ### Goblin Explosioneers The goblins of Bablovia, can be easily identified both comedically oversized noses, and the fact that they always have dynamite. Always. They use it in their weapons, their tools, their fashion, and likely their cuisine. As a result, they do not have terribly long lives, but this is compensted for by the fact that they breed quickly and in litters of up to 6, resulting in a birth rate that *slightly* exceeds their death rate.

Then flip a coin. On a tails, the dynamite detonates. The goblin and each creature within 5ft. of it must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage, or half as much on a successful one. > ### Goblin Haberdashers As previously mentioned, goblins of Bablovia consider Dynamite the height of fashion. As such, goblin tailors like to incorporate dynamite into their work. Goblin haberdashers are those that specialize in hatmaking.

Each creature within 5ft. of it must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage, or half as much on a successful one. This destroys the goblin's head, preventing it from being resurrected by any effect which requires an intact body. > > ### Actions > > ***Fist.*** *Melee weapon attack*: +1 to hit, reach 5ft. *Hit:* 1 bludgeoning damage. > > ***Haberdashery.*** The goblin offers a Dynamite hat to a creature within 5ft. of it.

\page ### Goblin Rigger Ever since the hostile takeover of Steamflogger Industries, some goblins have dedicated their lives to learning about and jury-rigging the technology from Steamflogger into contraptions used by the Explosioneers. They "reformed" Steamflogger, and use their general structure, although they are not worked nearly as hard, with their current jobs being described as "more like a hard day's lunch with a brief Work break between shifts".

Steamflogger was overthrown partially to reclaim the goblin's freedom, but also to take all the fun toys. Only the most knowledgeable goblins can figure out how to use these toys, but this is a great example of "Knowledgeable" not meaning "smart". Among these "toys", there were chainsaws, or as the goblins call them "Buzzblades", and replace their arms with them so they are never without them.

\page ### Goblin Hammerheads Not all the technology used by the Explosioneers was directly looted from Steamflogger Industries. One of the clearest examples of Goblin ingenuity: the Head Banger is a massive hammer worn on the head which enables a goblin to implement all of their back muscles in an attack instead of just their arm muscles.

\page >##### Goblin Contraptions > The weapons used by the Goblin Explosioneers can potentially be looted and used by non-goblins. However, since these were designed by and for the Goblin Explosioneers, no other creatures would be considered proficient in them without extensive practice, and such practice would be very dangerous for the ones powered by burning tnt. > ___ > **Buzzblade.** The goblin Buzzblade, as wielded by the the Goblin Party Crasher is a martial melee weapon which deals 4d6 damage on a hit. It weighs 10 pounds. It can use a character's Intelligence instead of Strength for its attack and damage rolls. However, it can only be wielded after being physically implanted onto a characters wrist after their hand has been removed. In addition, it can only be fueled by powdered TNT, and while fueld it gives its wielder the ***Dynamite Engine*** trait of the Goblin Party Crasher. >___ > **Head Banger.** The Head Banger, as wielded by the Goblin Hammerhead, is a martial melee weapon which deals 1d12 damage on a hit. It weighs 15 pounds. It is wielded with the head, leaving both hands free. It gives a creature wielding it the Goblin Hammerhead's ***Top Heavy*** trait. > ___ > **Turbo-Thwacking Auto-Hammer.** There are two varieties of Turbo-Twacking Auto hammer. One uses the statistics of a Warhammer, and the other the statistics of a Maul, but without the Heavy trait. The Maul variant is opperated with both hands, but worn on the back. In either case, the Turbo-Thwacking Auto-Hammer always (not optionally) uses Intelligence instead of Strength for its attacks and damage. While wielding it, a creature may use their bonus action to fire 2 light hammers from the Turbo-Thwacking Auto Hammer as if they had been thrown, but still using Intelligence. This feature can only be used if the Turbo-Thwacking Auto-Hammer is fueled with powdered TNT, in which case it gives the wielder the Hammer Jammer's ***Dynamite Engine*** trait.

Among these where Ground Pounders, giant machines with massive hammers used to flatten landscapes. Now, those machines have been dismantled, but the title of Ground Pounder lives on through the Goblins who now wield those hammers. It is unclear how they do this.

\page ### Buzz Buggies Another vehicle developed by the Goblin Riggers, a Buzz Buggy is a motorized cart covered in spinning blades and drills. A Buzz Buggy is a **War Machine** fueled by dynamite instead of souls. It is usually manned by a **Goblin Rigger** and a **Goblin Explosioneer**.

Credit: Steve Prescott, courtesy of WotC > ##### Variant: Boomflinger > The goblins are nothing if not dedicated to incorporating as much boom as possible into every possible aspect of their life. As such, they sometimes strap Boomflingers to the sides of their vehicles. A boomflinger station could be strapped onto any Explosioneer vehicle. Adding a boomflinger to a vehicle adds one creature capacity, costs 100 pounds of cargo capacity, and adds the following Action Station: > > ***Boomflinger (Requires 1 Crew and grants Half Cover).*** *Ammunition:* 10 chain bombs. The Boomflinger fires 2 bombs connected by a chain at a point the operator can see within 120ft. of the vehicle.

\page ### Steamflogger Boss Steamflogger industries used large mechanical walkers controlled with levers to whip the creatures they had enslaved. It was actually for these machines which the company was named for, as the then Steam-Powered machines flogged slaves who didn't work hard enough. Following Steamflogger getting overthrown, the Goblins retrofitted these machines to be repurposed to accept dynamite as fuel instead. Since the goblin's work is so much less intensive, the motivation they provide is mostly in the form of a large presence and some occasional rhymes from the pilot, such as "Don't stop know, we're almost done, then we'll build another one". A Steamflogger Boss is a **Warmachine** fueled by Dynamite instead of soul coins.

Credit: Warren Mahy, courtesy of WotC > ##### Variant: Goblin Slingshot > One of the primary uses of Goblin vehicles is as a means to get into combat faster. This is made even more effective with the aplication of a large slingshot which can fire goblins directly into action. A Huge or larger vehicle can have a Goblin Slingshot platform attached to it. A goblin slingshot platform increases a vehicle's creature capacity by 2, reduces its cargo capacity by 100 pounds, and provides the following attack station. > > ***Goblin Slingshot (Requires 1 crew)*** *Ammunition:* any Small creatures not crewing Action Stations. The Goblin Slingshot fires a Small creature at a point within 60ft. of itself.

\page ### Ol' Buzzbark Ol' Buzzbark is the current leader of the Goblin Explosioneers. He was previously the most talented Rigger of all the Explosioneers. He has now been so significantly augmented with Steamflogger technology that his entire upper back appears to be mechanical. #### Democratic Kakistocracy The Goblin Explosioneers determine their rulers through elections in which the goblin vote for whomever they most want to be ruler, without any needing to nominate themselves. However, this system consistently results in the Explosioneers going towards whomever promises the most hammers and explosions. Since this typically results in the goblin with the least detailed plan being collected, this is normally described as a Kakistocracy, or a government led by the least competent people available. However, since this basically results in having almost no government at all, which is the ideal state of the goblin, it works out anyway.

All goblins in that area gain advantage on all Dexterity saving throws against effects which target at least a 5ft. radius area.
