I like that. It captures what makes them goblins, to my thinking. "A distorted echo of humanity" is a wonderful and incisive way to put it. They're a dark mirror for humans, but a funhouse dark mirror. They're an inherently unsustainable, malefic society of gross little fuckers. A bit like us, just moreso. A whole society of the kind of imp that usually sits on the shoulder of a villain, whispering madness and glee in their ears.
