  2. Step two

    Set the details

    Open Options to choose gender, temperament, how many names you want, name length and whether to include a title.

  3. Step three

    Keep your favourites

    Copy any name, save the ones you like, or refine a name into close variations until it feels right.

Breeds

Five breeds, plus a mix

Each breed shapes both the sound of the name and the nickname it tends to earn. Pick one to match your goblin, or browse Any.

Forest

Quick, sly woodland goblins of thorn and snare, like Snik Thornfinger or Pikwort the Quick.

Cave

Pale, hunched deep-dweller goblins of rock and dark, like Grubnok the Pale or Krugurk Darktooth.

Bog

Stinking, sickly marsh goblins of mud and rot, like Glorptoad Bilemaw or Quagslug Sludgenose.

Hex

Twitchy, muttering goblin hexers of bone and spite, like Nazga the Cursed or Hagrarix the Sly.

War

Loud, scrap-armoured raider goblins of rust and fire, like Krudd Skullbasher or Grizzgut the Warboss.

Naming tips

Making a goblin sound properly grubby

Let the breed lead

The breed shapes the sound, so a Bog name squelches while a War name barks. Match it to where your goblin skulks and how it fights.

Use temperament for the nickname

Set Temperament to Sneak for sly titles like the Unseen, Boss for loud ones like the Warboss, or Feral and Tinker for grubby compound nicknames like Knifeear.

Refine, don't restart

Found a name you love but the wrong title? Choose it, hit Refine, lock the name and shuffle the title instead.
