General Bentnoze is a member of the Thorobshuun tribe and one of the two goblin generals found in the northernmost part of Goblin Village. He plays a major role in the quest Goblin Diplomacy.

He is always found standing next to his rival general, General Wartface, whom he constantly argues with over armour colours. He favours the colour red while his opponent prefers the colour green.

General Bentnoze and his co-general Wartface became the leaders of Goblin Village less than 10 years ago. The village's previous leader reputedly died during a game of "pin the tail on the basilisk".[1][2]
