That largely depend on setting though, as they can vary from totally mindless monsters through the bog-standard-evil trope to just short green people.

Context
I’ve seen this theme pop up here and there, the general gist is: people are playing DnD or some similar RPG, they encounter a bunch of goblins, slaughter them with their PC powers, stumble upon the last survivor - a goblin child, decide to spare it and take with them instead.
It was supposed to be cute I guess, but is frankly fucked up in retrospect
Yeah that’s not wholesome at all people should I just leave the goblin alone to survive on its own instead
Lamia version is more classic, because goblins are usually not very cute and neckbeards are neckbeards.
I’ve only heard goblin one, but frankly not at all surprised
