<p>79.107.37.21: Edit by Odysseas-spartan-53 (Temp corrected)</p> <hr /> <div>{{sources}}<br /> :''For the main article on this subject, see '''[[Orcs]]'''.''<br /> '''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]].<br /> ==Etymology==<br /> Goblin is a folk word, which according to &quot;The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English,&quot; is probably derived from the Anglo-French ''gobelin'' a diminutive of Gobel (cf. Kobold).<br /> ==Portrayal in Adaptations==<br /> 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 was in turn used for the strategy games ''[[The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring]]'' and ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II]]''.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Races]]<br /> [[Category:Orcs]]<br /> [[Category:Characters in The Hobbit]]<br /> [[de:Bilwiß]]<br /> [[de:Goblins]]<br /> [[fi:Hiidet]]</div>
