North Downs Goblin
Scavenging the North Downs, like their brethren roaming as far west as the Ered Luin and as far east as their dark home in the Misty Mountains, the goblins of Middle-earth are as vile and cruel examples of Orc-kind as one may encounter. Rarely found alone, goblins traditionally hunt in groups both small and large, preferring the advantage of numbers to inflict their cruelty on the Free Peoples of Middle-earth.
In the pages of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, Orc-kind may be recognized by many names. From lowly and numerous goblins, to the various tribes and breeds of Orcs, to the cruel and mighty Uruk-hai, LOTRO will feature each prominently as the foot soldiers of the dark tide sweeping across Middle-earth in the days leading up the War of the Ring.
