[OT] Goblinoid roll call!
Ok, if you had to narrow down the goblinoid races to 5, which ones would you include?

What more do you need than Orcs and Goblins?
I guess you mean to include...
Bugbears
Hobgoblins
What others are we talking about?

Well, in ascending order of toughness I think of kobold, goblin, orc, hobgoblin... but I'm looking for a 5th one to round out a project I'm working on. Who'd be big baddie #5? Bugbears? Trolls? Ogres?
see here:

I don't think kobolds are goblinoid. But you are right to put bugbears at the top of the list
EDIT: And I note that this list does not include orcs. Which makes no sense as those are clearly goblinoid. (The great George Macdonald Fraser proved that with a letter he sent as a schoolboy to Tolkien, asking if the two creatures (orcs and goblins) were the same. They were)
And don't forget the dreaded nilbogs!

(not that you asked 0
I suppose we must include GOBLINS...
So I'd say;
Kobolds,
Goblins,
Hobgoblins,
Bugbears,
Orcs.
If you consider Hobgoblin to be a sub- / super-race of goblin, then we can wiggle in Ogres.
But, are ogres goblinoids or giant-kin? If their gobbies, they're #5.
Or make one up, baby!
