Goblins (Goblin Slayer)

The goblins are the eponymous antagonists of the light novel series Goblin Slayer as well as its manga and 2018 anime adaptation.

Descriptions
The goblins tend to dwell on the frontier lands untouched by militaristic forces. The goblins have the tendency to attack villages and in great numbers, they can raze terror on the lands. As the goblins are a male-dominated species, they must depend on abducting females from multiple species and they forcefully impregnate them. Even in an infantile state goblins are still considered dangerous as infant goblins are known to use their appearances to deceive potential victims into taking pity on them only to then murder them gruesomely when their guard was down. Goblins can also rapidly accelerate to their adult states which further makes them harder to suppress.

Goblins tend to reside in caves and as a means of sustaining themselves, they resort to raiding settlements. One of the settlements that the goblins attacked resulted in the deaths of several innocents of which included the death of the boy who would become known as the Goblin Slayer. For whatever reason, goblins have a great hatred towards humanity, and one of their ongoing goals is the total eradication of mankind.
