So I was poring over my nearly-complete collection of 3.5 books, and thinking, "Man, there are a lot of humanoid (goblinoid) creatures." There's just no end to them. And, of course, most of them aren't in the SRD. Meaning, I think, that the Paizo crew isn't even allowed to hint at reinterpreting them for Golarion.
But there's nothing stopping us from doing so! :) So, what do you think Golarionese (Golarian?) norkers, vril, amitok, forestkith, et cetera should be like?
Meanwhile, of course, there's the goblinoids that Paizo does have permission to use -- their own creations such as the goblin snake, or classic rewrites from the Tome of Horrors. In the latter case, I speak of that supremely annoying creature, the nilbog.
Are nilbogs twisted in personality as well as in physics? Are they calm and intellectual dog-fanciers? (That didn't come out right.) And while we're at it, does nilbogism ever affect other goblinoids? Could an unfortunate adventurer run afoul of a nilbogboh, or even the dreaded reabgub?! (I choose you, nilbog Ekans!)
...while I'm at it, does a ranger with favored enemy (goblinoid) get bonuses against goblin snakes? On the face of it, all his fighting techniques should be geared to the basic humanoid frame of most goblinoid creatures, and goblin snakes are aberrations.

In a 3.5 remix of Keep on the Borderlands, I had Nilbogs cast as worshippers of Hastur. They set fire to themselves and leapt from higher caves down upon the pcs after ritually murdering their own females and children...They were a little crazy.
Haven't given any thought to them being in Golarion though.
