A goblin outrider, o, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. It is somewhat stronger than a regular goblin.

Generation

A goblin outrider has a 13 chance of being generated with each of the following: an orcish cloak, an orcish spear, an orcish shield, and an orcish bow and stack of 3–14 poisoned orcish arrows.

Randomly-generated goblin-outriders may generate in small groups, and will always generate riding atop a wolf.

Strategy

While not a serious threat by itself, the goblin outrider's steed and numbers can be a concerning threat, especially if they are equipped with some form of ranged attack.

Encyclopedia entry

Now goblins are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted. They make
no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones. They
can tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled
dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually
untidy and dirty. Hammers, axes, swords, daggers, pickaxes,
tongs, and also instruments of torture, they make very well,
or get other people to make to their design, prisoners and
slaves that have to work till they die for want of air and
light.
