The Red Goblins are a rare sub-species of Goblins from the very first edition of Warhammer Fantasy, who were bred by some Necromancers in years past, similar to how Chaos Dwarfs bred Black Orcs. They are far more evil then the 'mundane' Goblins and have little respect for other types of Greenskins (or anybody else at all). It is said that Red Goblins still serve their evil masters, although whether these still live is unknown.
It's unknown whether the Red Goblins could move faster than other Greenskins.
An interesting fact is that Red Goblins were the first "Greenskin" to ever have a model made by Citadel Miniatures. Their model, called "Red Orcs" initially, looked somewhat like a mixture between a particularly ugly Elf with a Conehead and a rather meek Hobgoblin. They were originally used to represent Glorantha's Tusk Riders, a type of Half-Troll who filled in the niche of Orcs as Boar-riding Tusked Barbarians.
A Modern Return: Creepers in Age of Sigmar
A new species of Redskinned Greenskins has finally appeared in Warhammer once again! Dubbed "Creepers", these little red imps have a symbiotic relationship with Gargants, the Giants of Age of Sigmar. They dwell in the hair of King Brodd, leader of the Sons of Behemat, and tend to the wounds of Olag the Great, another Gargant.
