goblin, hobgoblin, uh, the green goblin, good goblin (and the other 13 types of course). Don’t have a copy of the monster manual at hand unfortunately.

Or, in other words, “There may be 17 different types of goblins, but the only good goblin is a dead goblin.”

17 “different” kinds of elves. Because they are so “awesome”.

I am not bitter.
