Having done lots of genetic engineering and molecular biology in my time with many different types of vectors, this while possible is venturing into the science fiction arena.If goblins are too similar then you are just making a disease that can kill anyone. If they are too different any virus (or bacteria) from our world might not be viable to replicate in them. We could potentially try and isolate plagues (i use that term very loosely to include virus, bacteria, fungus etc.) that are endemic to their world and modify them but that is most likely a very long road that would most likely be unproductive.While theoretically possible this strategy would  not be easy, doubtfully very efficient, likely not very effective, and most likely would not work very well if at all.</blockquote>
