Goblin (Final Fantasy XIV)

Goblins are a beast tribe found around the realm Eorzea, in the world of Hydaelyn. Short in stature and humanoid in shape, goblins are known for wearing face obscuring masks and carrying around enormous backpacks.

Profile
Goblins are one of the most amicable beast tribes in Eorzea, known for their peddling. Many among the goblins are disciples of the land and hand, i.e. gatherers and crafters. They would often trade their wares across the city states of Aldenard.

Illuminati
A group of Goblin scholars, known as the Illuminati show an almost militaristic zeal in pursuit of knowledge, displaying a willingness to use Magitek, as well as a disregard for Spoken life. In their attempts at building a walking fortress, the Illuminati summoned the Primal Alexander.

A member of this group, Mutamix Bubblypots eventually defected to share their knowledge of the creation of Materia with the world.
