The Cragmaw Goblin tribe, a menacing collection of Goblins, Hobgoblins, and formidable Bugbears, finds its dark home in the shadowy depths of the Neverwinter Wood. They derive their ominous name from the jagged, almost unnatural teeth that protrude from their mouths, resembling eerie white or yellow crags amidst the darkness of the forest. These ruthless marauders are notorious for their brazen assaults on unsuspecting travelers and vulnerable caravans traversing the perilous Triboar Trail. With their savage cunning and relentless pursuit, the Cragmaw Goblins strike fear into the hearts of those who dare to venture too close to their unholy domain.
If you are running 'Lost Mine of Phandelver' for a group of experience players, use this stat block in place of the standard Goblin Stat Block to surprise your players. They are still a CR 1/4 creature but have other abilities giving the DM more versatility.
