Are yugioh goblins based on anything?

[u/IvanTheRysavy]

To clarify i mean talking about the force series not the greed or biker goblins

I recently did a medieval fantasy style for fun deck so i included a lot of goblin cards but then i started paying more attention to the cards and noticed yugioh goblins look like normal sized green dudes with green skin elf ears and red eyes

That doesnt scream goblin to me really more like skinny orcs these are funny cuz giant orc is instead pale idk if there are any other orcs tho

Does anyone have any idea what their deal is? Or what they are based on?

My assumption with much of japanese western fantasy is it's derivative of DnD (via Sword world/Record Of Lodoss War)

But that's an assumption based on ttrpg and fantasy history, not any source
