They're full of horse poop and wrong because goblins are different literally everywhere. Goblin is synonymous with 'imp' and 'boogeyman'. It's some nasty little fucker that turns milk sour and steals babies and offers golden handaxes to try and trick you into sinning or some other stupid fucking thing.
Plus, every fantasy setting and game has its own take on goblins. They're usually little green jerks with pointy noses by default.
D&D did it with chimpy lookin' goblins, but who cares?
