Dust Goblins are Undead Goblins raised by the necromantic power of the Tomb Kings of the Land of the Dead to join their armies.
Role[]
In the deserts of the Land of the Dead, ancient Liche Priests raise mighty armies of Undead warriors for their mummified masters, the Tomb Kings. In these cursed domains the dead do not rest easy and those that dare venture to the Land of the Dead are often doomed to a life of Undeath. Occasionally a teeming horde of Greenskins from the Badlands or the Worlds Edge Mountains make their way into this realm of death intent on slaughtering, plundering and conquering. None have ever succeeded, nor ever returned from the Land of the Dead...at least not alive.[1]
Once the armies of the Tomb Kings destroy the Greenskin interlopers, the Liche Priests summon the rotting Goblinoid carcasses back from the grave, adding to their lords' horrific Undead legions. However, some of these Undead Goblins find their way back to plague their homelands.[1]
Unlike Humans, Elves and Dwarfs, an Undead Goblin still retains a tiny part of their mischievous and unpleasant qualities from their previous malevolent life. These Undead Goblins, known as "Dust Goblins," still bicker among the ranks of Undead armies, taunting each other like spiteful children.[1]
The leader of a unit of Dust Goblins is known as a "Morbid."[1]
