A goblin.
The smallest of the chaos races, goblins were made by the Jotnar in attempt to create an evil and chaotic race to oppose the dwarves.

Appearance

Goblins are about dwarfish height or taller, but stand hunched, so they often appear smaller. They have long noses and large, pointed ears (though not as long or pointed as a hobgoblin's). Their skin color ranges from greyish-brown to grey-green. Some have scraggly hair and beards.

Culture

Strong for their size, fast, and skilled climbers, goblins can sometimes be quite clever and industrious, but in a different way than their dwarven counterparts, as they never try to create anything perfect or beautiful - merely effective, and almost always destructive. They have a greater sense of teamwork than the other chaos races, thus serving as the master siege engineers, architects, and miners of the Army of Chaos, yet still they live in subjugation to the others unless they flee to live alone. Some clans composed entirely of goblins dwell underground, carving out a living and constantly fighting with the dwarves.
