Goblins, Orcs, and Half-Orcs

Goblins are orcs are the Illithids first attempts to engineer an army from the people of Earth. However, they were unruly, unwilling to listen to orders without extensive and time consuming mind control, and often escaped into the wasteland during combat. Illithid production of goblins and orcs has mostly ceased, but they have quickly established themselves in the wasteland in widespread tribes of raiders.
