There were two facts about goblins that the world knew: they were weak, and they were impossible to communicate with. Humans expected goblins to be intelligent because of their semi-humanoid appearance, but it turned out that their evolutionary line was different than humans.
Since the goblins were weak, no one managed to record what their evolutions were. Sometimes a goblin lord would be a hobgoblin, but that was all. These soldiers who spoke the human language and called themselves gobkins were monsters never seen before.
"Kneel before our lord, impudent monsters," said the shadow woman to the gobkins, making them flare up with rage.
"We don't take orders from lowly species!" glared one of the gobkins before another one smacked its head, and the culprit was a foot taller than the rest. This one had two horns on its head just like the rest of them, but he was slender rather than bulky.
