Here are some pics of my goblin's chief form of pack and labor animal...Rats!
The monstrous rats are almost as large as and as strong as horses, and are much easier to feed and care for...when the Goblins care for them at all...
Here is the main view of two rats and a cliff goblin...

I wasn't basing the design on princess bride, which is a cool movie, by the
way...
I actually have always loved the Were-Rat monster, from Final Fantasy
Legend, about 10 years ago or so...I wanted to make a monster that was
not typically thought of as large or strong, and something that even the
mindless goblins could tame and use for labor...big pigs look to much like
goblins, and in my story goblins hate and fear all reptiles so no lizard
beasts...the idea of dogs, even huge ones pulling catapults and wagons
seems to terrestrial, and so I decided that giant rats who naturally dwell in
caves would fit with my cliff goblins...I hope this helps explain the origin for
my giant rats...

You wanna know what you do when they're all dead? Look through their pockets for loose change.
Great idea Boses. Those would be great to use for a Princess Bride vig or something.

The blue-thing represents hair on the back of the rat...I use that piece(the
battle droid arm) as hair in several models, including my goblins and the
Naga Queen, that I built a while ago...I chose to use the blue-green arm piece
from the Life On Mars lego sets, it stands out more then the gray or light gray
ones,and the idea of big black rats with shaggy green fur on their foul hides
works very well as a monster/ pack animal for me...
