J.C Hine's Goblin Quest series plays with traditional fantasy character roles.  The story's main character/anti-hero is Ig, a goblin who is bullied by his fellow goblins.  While on patrol, he is captured and dragged along on a quest to retrieve an ancient artefact. It is no surprise that he is even despised by the group: two princes, a dwark and an elf. 

As they journey through the dark tunnels deep beneath the earth, nasty surprises await them around every corner.
