I've been itching to fix that one in the Martial Arts mod, but eventually decided against it. It was Toady's design, or oversight, so I'll leave it as is for now. What I did fix is replace the MOUTH with a BEAK - yet another oversight.

Maybe they're "dogs" to the goblins, and they ride on their shoulders?

I figured that beak dogs were more gorilla-like in form, and that goblins did indeed ride on the shoulders.


I'd still prefer something a little more canine, but I never got around to tweaking it either.

Huh. Never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out!

I think I'll correct that for my Mod.
