Goblins may be of any PC class.  The above statistics block is for a baseline goblin without any class levels.  CombatBlood Drain (Ex): A goblin sucks blood from a living victim with its fangs by making a successful Grapple check.  If it pins the foe, it drains blood, draining a permanent 1d4 Constitution points each round.Immunity to Fire (Ex): Goblins are immune to natural fire (supernatural fires, such as magical effects, harm them normally).</blockquote>
