A Moria Goblin

Moria Orcs, also called Moria Goblins, were a sub-breed of Orc of the Misty Mountains that took over the fallen Dwarf kingdom of Moria after the Dwarves were driven out. They became small and shrivelled up over time and became known as Goblins due to their similarities to Goblins of the Misty Mountains.

History

Orcs of the Misty Mountains moved into the abandoned city of Moria underneath the mountains and lived in the halls and passages left behind by the Dwarves. They developed dark skin and protuberant eyes due to the living conditions underground.
