Grim goblins dressed in blue ride the backs of six legged skull beasts, slashing at foes with fiendishly sharp swords at lightening fast speeds. The steeds themselves possess a hellish visage, helping to strike fead into foes with their endlessly gnashing and grinding teeth surrounded by desert-bleached bones. So speedy they can attack twice in a turn, they use the fiery '''flame slash''' to sizzle up foes and cause extra panic, leaving them open to sweep adventures right off their feet.
Grim [[Demon family|goblins]] dressed in blue ninja suits that ride on the backs of six legged skull beasts, slashing at foes with fiendishly sharp swords at lightning-fast speeds. The steeds themselves possess a hellish visage, helping to strike fead into foes with their endlessly gnashing and grinding teeth surrounded by desert-bleached bones. So speedy they can attack twice in a turn, they use the fiery '''flame slash''' to sizzle up foes and cause extra panic, leaving them open to sweep adventures right off their feet. In some games, the riders are considered part of the [[Undead family]] due to their skeletal mounts.
