"I iz da best!
I iz da best!"
- —The Black Gobbo[1c]
The Black Gobbo takes over an issue of White Dwarf magazine.
Skitgit, called the "Black Gobbo," is a despicable Night Goblin who is so untrustworthy that even other Goblins don't really like him. Which, in true Greenskin spirit, actually generates a lot of respect for the Black Gobbo from tiny, mean-spirited Goblins![2]
Originally a puny Night Goblin known simply as Skitgit, the Black Gobbo possessed something that most Goblins lack: ambition. It took years of effort to become a full-fledged Night Goblin warboss. The sheer number of underhanded, sneaky, backstabbing, traitorous, greedy, and cunning deeds Skitgit undertook in his career is absolutely astounding.[2]
Dwarfs have much reason to hate him, as Snitgit made quite the career of trapping them and then stealing their prized possessions. Once he had gathered enough Dwarf loot and fellow conspirators, Skitgit made his move and successfully dethroned Warlord Izgabit Wuzzit. From that day forward, he became the Black Gobbo, and he continues to cause trouble wherever he can![2]
Most Night Goblins hate Dwarfs a great deal, but the Black Gobbo really, truly, fully, completely, absolutely hates 'em. A lot.[2]
Wargear[]
- Gromril Plate Armour - The Black Gobbo looted this suit of gromril battle plate from the Dwarfs.[2]
- Hood of Night - After years of plottin', plannin', and sneakin', the Black Gobbo finally earned his place at the top by kicking Night Goblin Warlord Izgabit Wuzzit into a ditch filled with acid. All that remained of ol' Izgabit was a pair of Trollhide trousers, which the Black Gobbo fashioned into his now-trademark hood. With this hood, the Black Gobbo commands immense respect from Night Goblins and Goblins alike.[2]
- Thagi Az - This legendary weapon was wrenched from the broken hands of Dwarf Lord Zagaz Harfut ("cuz it wuz perty lookin" –BG) while he lay crippled at the bottom of a cunning chute trap designed by Skitgit himself. The Thagi Az is a fine example of Dwarf Runesmanship...but now it's in the wrong hands.[2]
- Belt Buckle of Durzik Al Drazh - Forged with runes of good fortune, this enchanted item was once the proud property of an Ironbeard of great respect named Durzik. He was slain when the Black Gobbo tricked and cornered the Dwarf in a dummy tunnel...one that contained three hungry Trolls. All that was left of Durzik when the Trolls were through was his shiny gold belt buckle.[2]
- Gotkid's Beard - Once upon a time, Gotkid Fenrig was a Dwarf Thane with a fine beard. This mighty beard was adorned with runic beads of protection that were woven into it. Then, while on a patrol in Undgrin Ankor, Fenrig fell victim to the Black Gobbo's patented "Cave-Mounted Stunty 'Ead Lobba Speshul." Now, Gotkid's beard sways to and fro on the Black Gobbo's belt.[2]

Game History[]
The logo of the Black Gobbo e-zine
Skitgit served as the antagonist to Grombrindal, the White Dwarf, both inside and outside the universe of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Just as Grombrindal possesses his own magazine, the eponymous "White Dwarf", Snikgit possessed his own e-zine, called Black Gobbo. He would also occasionally "hijack" normal issues of White Dwarf magazine.
