This particular miniature Goblin worked as a scribe and a messenger for the Great Goblin in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey film. He records events in Goblin Town. He is a tiny goblin with malformed legs. He uses his long finger nail to write with and uses parchment to write on. If you look closely, his legs are deformed and withered. Because he cannot walk, he must get around on a pulley with a seat attached to it.
