I'm writing up the characters from The Hobbit. These are specifically the characters from the movie.
Goblins (Misty Mountain)
Goblins are a debased race of Orcs that Thorin and Company encountered during their trek through the Misty Mountains. Goblins live deep under the Misty Mountains in many strongholds, ever since the War of Wrath in the First Age. They are cruel, ugly creatures, wicked, and bad-hearted.
The goblins beneath the Misty Mountains are particularly foul. They have lived so long in the caverns away from the light of the sun, that they their skin has turned albino. Having inbred through the centuries, mutations and accidents of birth are rife within their clan, and many sport mutated limbs or facial features. They eke out a miserable existence, subsisting on refuse, cave mushroom and whatever else they can scrounge up beneath the earth.
A goblin stands 3 to 3-1/2 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Its eyes are usually dull and glazed. Goblins normally wear clothing of dark leather, but the goblins beneath the Misty Mountain wear nothing but wear scraps of cloth that cover their nakedness. Misty Mountain goblins speak Goblin and Common.
The Goblin King
Goblins are some of the most foul creatures in Middle-Earth, and ruling over them under the Misty Mountains is the most foulest creature of them all, their Goblin King.
The Goblin King is a massive, bloated parody of a goblin, double the height of a normal man. His skin is as pale and leprous as his brethren, and wispy strands of white hair hang from his head. He has giant jowls and a large tumerous goiter hangs from his chin.
A crude makeshift crown made from pot metal and fearsome animal teeth is his mark of command. In addition, he wields a large club, and is quite adept with it, too.
The Goblin King is a capricious yet capable ruler, and posses a sizable treasure hoard. Believing that might makes right, he towers far over the height of any goblin. He commands fear and respect from the goblins in equal measure, and his rule in Goblin Town is absolute.
The Scribe
The Scribe, as he is known, is a wretched, shrunken, miserable little goblin that serves as the Goblin King's aide and adjutant.
Like all goblins under the Misty Mountains he shows the inbred mutation of his larger kin. His legs having shriveled to near-nothing, he is dependent upon and harness, below which is mounted a chamber pot. He cannot leave it. A system of pulleys and levers that are rigged to take him to and fro to the various areas of Goblin Town.
The Scribe is so small, and his legs so lame, he is nearly defenseless. Despite this he possesses a bit certain amount of low cunning and is adept at remembering things, reading and writing, and taking notes. This makes him useful to the Goblin King. The Goblin King protects his from the bullying of his murderous cannibalistic kin and in return the Scribe can take notes send messages, and generally handle the tedious, menial tasks of the day-to-day running of Goblin Town.
Grinnah the Goblin
Grinnah is the interrogation specialist of the goblins. Like all goblins he has pale and leprous flesh. Grinnah ensures that Thorin & Co. are brought before the Goblin King. He constantly carries a barbed whip and takes every opportunity to use it. Although cunning and vicious, he is, like all Orcs, a coward at heart. Obsequious and fawning, but in secret he loathes his master, the rich and capricious great Goblin King.
Small Goblin
Goblins vary in size and shape, but all are equally repulsive. Some goblins, however are so small, as to be half the height of a normal Goblin. They are just as backbiting and fierce as their larger kin, and some ways even more so, their tiny size making them capricious and cruel.
