How to use it
Make one memorable
Most goblins are fodder, but give one a name and a quirk and players will keep him alive for sessions.
Use the job
Trap-maker, wolf rider, boss's taster: the job tells you what the goblin knows and can trade.
Ranks
Add Boss or Chief in front of a name for the leader of the warren.

How to name a goblin
Goblin names are short and a bit gross: snot, grub, scab, muck, with squeaky endings like -nik, -wig and -gle. Many goblins also have a nickname they gave themselves, usually more flattering than true. Name the goblin the party captures, and they'll want to keep it.
