Wolf Rider

Soon after taming the wolves, orces discovered that in captivity they grow to much larger sizes. Goblins began to use wolves as mounts. Although the goblin rider will not stay in the saddle - nor even survive - after the clash with a wesnothian knight, and wolves can't fight horses at speed in open terrain, goblin cavalry can get into places where neither knights nor goblins themselves would ever have got - wolves are racing through forests, snows and mountains, sparing neither themselves nor their riders.
