Many goblins lack the intelligence, skill, and training to learn the ways of the arcane arts. The lowest of low, the Pariahs are met with disdain and hatred and only eat after all of the goblins have had their fill. Gathering plants, means of shelter, nuts, berries, and other curiosities they can find nearby, the Gathers tend to the young goblins of the tribe.

These are the goblins that hunt game to bring back to the tribe. Trained in stealth, archery, and survival. They are who the other goblins turn to for guidance and problem-solving. They are skilled strategists, trap-builders, beast tamers, miners, and worshippers. Some would regard these as the nobles of goblin society. The goblins of a tribe know their place and though an adventure might be caught off guard by seeing dozens of goblins in one place, they may be shocked to find that only two or three actually defend the territory. This also affects who gets to eat and when. Though there is very much an 'Every Goblin for Themselves' mantra, there are certain positions that members excel at. Goblins are an interesting lot when it comes to how the population is divided up. Though they are not as in-tuned with worgs as the Orcs, there have been occasions where they have been able to do so, making a lasting and valuable ally to their kin. They will round up any animals they can and attempt to domesticate them for use of mounts and cattle and have even been able to tame some of the more fierce beasts like bears and on rare-occasions Worgs.

The most treasured skill among the Lashers of the goblin tribes is their ability to tame wild animals. Though the traps are crude and usually made of natural materials such as spiked pits, small game traps, slip-nooses, and tripwires, they are still effective and often very hard to be perceived by the untrained eye. The goblin people have many skills when it comes to survival and are apt foragers, hunters, and trap-makers. If something isn't able to be taken down by throwing vast numbers of goblins at it, either throw more or run. Their chaotic fighting patterns are balanced by their swarm tactics. Though they stay in largely populated tribes, they still tend to fend for themselves. Goblins are a cruel and uncaring race, only generally caring for themselves, not even other Goblins.
