Goblin civilizations in fact require these demons to appear in worldgen - should you use advanced world generation to forbid demons in your world, the goblins will be locked away in the Underworld in their place, and will remain there until they are freed by a civilization digging too deep and too greedily. This could imply the reason behind their particular (lack of) ethics. Such demons remain in charge until they're killed or otherwise defeated, in which case normal goblins will take their place. Goblin civilizations are created when a particular kind of uniquely powerful demon escapes the Underworld. For example, goblins find the torture of animals, the butchering and consuming of sapient beings, oath-breaking, and general malice acceptable or consider it a personal matter. It is because of their acceptance of controversial acts that goblins become enemies with nearly every other race. It appears that goblins do not enforce punishment, but instead simply ignore crimes and leave any punishment to be determined by the parties involved. Goblins show the least concern for ethics out of any race in the game, with the sole exception being that treason is punishable by death (which currently has no effect on successful attempts to bump off a leader). Some traitors dwarves like goblins for their terrifying features. For spoiler reasons, they also have no need for sustenance and never need to eat or drink, despite being carnivorous. Goblins are immortal beings, dying only to violence and disease. Defeating a majority of an attacking force usually sends the rest of them running. Their items can be a valuable source of metals for fortresses that embarked in metal-scarce areas (leading some players to refer to the plunder from a defeated goblin attack as goblinite).
Their soldiers are commonly armored with copper and iron armor, and armed with copper, iron and silver weapons, generally with no quality levels unless on weaponmasters, and also typically accompanied by other creatures, such as other humanoids they have successfully kidnapped, trolls and beak dog mounts. Goblin babysnatchers carry a bag for their purpose. Goblins will start harassing a fortress early in its life, first with babysnatchers, and later with sieges. They quickly become a threat to the great majority of fortresses - except some island or mountain forts. They often establish settlements in dark fortresses within regions touched by evil, though it may be hard for some to imagine that goblins are capable of building those obsidian monoliths. Goblins are intelligent, evil, aggressive humanoid creatures that live in dark pits, and are the main opponent in fortress mode. A goblin riding a beak dog, drawn in crayon by Bay 12 Games.
