The sentient Wyverns of Kalimdor were eager to ally themselves with the Shamanistic Horde. Impressed by the Orcs' commitment to honor and victory, the Wyverns allowed the Orcs to ride them into combat against those who would disturb the tranquility of Kalimdor and its denizens. The Wyverns, who share a common ancestry with both Dragons and Gryphons, use their powerful talons and razor-like fangs against both airborne attackers and ground troops.

Originally the slaves of jungle trolls on the Isle of [[Kezan]], the '''goblin''' race was forced to mine kaja'mite ore out of the volcanic bowels of [[Mount Kajaro]].
 
 
The trolls used this potent mineral for their voodoo rituals, but it had an unexpected effect on the slaves who were in constant contact with it: kaja'mite generated a startling new cunning and intelligence in the goblins. Crafting their own powerful artifacts of engineering and alchemy in secret, the goblins soon overthrew their oppressors and claimed Kezan for their homeland. The mines that had been their prison, their slave camp, and the base of their rebellion now became the city of [[Undermine]]. Weaving through the heart of the island in a dizzying network of tunnels, vaults, and lava tubes, Undermine epitomizes the goblins' complex, unpredictable mindset.
 
 
The goblins' natural greed soon lifted them to prominence as masters of mercantilism. [[Trade prince]]s arose during the [[First War]] as the cleverest goblins learned to take advantage of the strife. Great fortunes were amassed, and the Isle of Kezan became a hub for fleets of goblin trading ships. One of the trade princes agreed to lend his faction's services to the Horde in the [[Second War]]. Following the Horde's defeat, the goblins learned from their colleague's failed example, and soon they realized that their profits could double if they weren't stuck in such a restrictive relationship. By the end of the [[Third War]], goblins were providing weaponry, vehicles, and devious services to both the Horde and the Alliance. This wouldn't last forever...
 
 
Recently, the goblins of Kezan have found a new enemy in the Alliance – unexpected and unprofitable encounters with this faction have driven certain trade princes from their comfortable neutrality. Reforging old pacts with their one-time allies, the goblins have been welcomed into the Horde with open arms.<ref>{{ref web |url=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/goblin.html |title=World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Features - Goblins |accessdate=2009-09-30 }}</ref>
 
 
==Induction to the Horde==
 
[[File:Goblins cataclysm.png|right|thumb|400px| A male and female goblin from cataclysm.]]
 
The ''Cataclysm'' expansion introduced the goblin race to the Horde. Goblin players are able to choose between playing a [[death knight]], [[hunter]], [[mage]], [[priest]], [[rogue]], [[shaman]], [[warlock]] or [[warrior]].
 
 
==Your Character==
 
When starting a Goblin character, the first six levels are played on the island of [[Kezan]], where you go through the last days of the island before the [[Cataclysm (event)|Second Sundering]]. After escaping, the ship you are traveling on will sink, leaving you floating on a plank from the shipwreck to the [[Lost Isles]]. Near-death, a goblin sits next to you, not knowing you are the goblin that saved the goblins from death. Another goblin uses goblin jumper cables and ressurects you.
 
Later on, you'll arive in Azshara and Orgrimmar.

==Trivia==
 
*Although goblins are one of the main [[engineering trainer]]s throughout the game, they did not receive a [[Racial trait|racial bonus]] to engineering, likely because [[Gnome]]s already have this racial, though two of the goblin racial abilities ({{ability|Rocket Jump}} and {{ability|Rocket Barrage}}) still relate to engineering. Goblin engineering is still grounded in alchemy and chemistry (see: [[Goblin Rocket Fuel]]).
 
*Despite [[Trade Prince Gallywix]] harboring a hatred for orcs, betraying the player, abandoning the player goblins to take over [[Azshara]] and attempting to kill Thrall and the player, Thrall still allows him to become racial leader once more. It has been speculated that this storyline may continue in the future.
 
*The /silly joke "One word: Plastics." is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSxihhBzCjk reference] to the film ''The Graduate''.
 
*The /silly joke "Skip to step three: Profit!" is a reference to the South Park episode titled Underpants Gnomes. "Step one is steal Underpants; Step two is...; Step three is profit!"
 
* The trait "Better Living Through Chemistry" is a reference to the DuPont advertising slogan of 1935-1982.
