The Night Goblins are a subterranean breed of greenskin that dwells in the darkness beneath the mountains, shunning the hated light of the sun. Clad in black hooded robes, they infest the caves and tunnels of the World's Edge Mountains and beyond, forming one of the most numerous and treacherous factions among the Orc and Goblin tribes.
Night Goblins wage a ceaseless underground war against the dwarfen mountain holds, overrunning abandoned tunnels and besieging the ancient strongholds of the Dawi. They cultivate poisonous fungi and the notorious Mad Cap mushrooms, whose consumption drives their fanatics into frothing, ball-and-chain-swinging frenzies.
Though individually feeble and cowardly, Night Goblins overwhelm through sheer weight of numbers, herding captured cave squigs and trundling crude war machines into battle. Their spite and cunning make them dangerous foes in the dark, where their endless swarms can drown even the stoutest defenders beneath a tide of black-robed malice.
