Goblins
From Tolkien Gateway
- For the main article on this subject, see Orcs.
Goblins is a name synonymous with Orcs, the term was used primarily in The Hobbit and within The Lord of the Rings it is most commonly used by hobbits.
[edit] Adaptations
In some adaptations, Goblins have been made distinct from Orcs, contrary to what Tolkien intended. This was implied in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, and can be seen in the real-time strategy games The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II.
