They killed other goblins because winning was hopeless
No, the goblins did not get Gandalf. Bilbo's yell when he discovered the goblins stealing things was enough to prevent him from being captured. Gandalf killed a number of the goblins with a big flash of lightening.
It was the Battle of Five Armies. The armies were the humans, elves and dwarves against the wargs and the goblins.
wargs
a grund of goblins According to the New World Encyclopedia: 'A group of goblins is referred to as a "horde."'
The Goblins nicknamed Orcrist - "Biter" .
Their swords, Glamdring and Orcrist, glow when goblins are nearby.
Gandalf and the Dwarves find three swords in a cave: Sting, which Gandalf gives Bilbo. Orcrist, which Gandalf gives Thoring. And Glamdring, which the Wizard keeps for himself.
Orcrist, meaning "Goblin-cleaver"
in the war of goblins and elves or dwarf's (i forget which) the swords carried by gandalf and Thorin were both used by great warriors, who killed many goblins using the swords, the swords are synonymous with goblin death. they even went so far as to call the swords beater and bitter
Made in Gondolin (along with Sting) for the elven king Turgon.
'Beater and Biter' are names that the goblins/orcs gave to two swords: Glamdring, ancient sword of the King of Gondolin, and Orcrist, another famous and ancient blade. Being forged by elves, the two swords glowed blue in the presence of orcs. You see, in Middle-earth, people and especially orcs know the names of the most famous swords, as well they should, considering how many of their kind they lose to them. Thorin and Gandalf took these swords from the trolls' cave, and used them from then on. "Glamdring" means "foe-hammer" (the "dring" part means "hammer"), hence "Beater". "Orcrist" means "orc-cutter", hence "Biter". The orc-names are based on the Elvish names. In the Silmarillion, Tolkien described the city of Gondolin and its king, Turgon, who was Elrond's great-grandfather.
Mythical creatures is another name for goblins, trolls, and pixies. These are magical beings often found in storybooks and legends.

A large knife of elven make that glows blue when there are Orcs near, made at about the same time as Glamdring and Orcrist and in the same place, Gondolin. Bilbo uses it as a sword and gives it the name 'Sting' because he uses it as his sting vs. the spiders. It was found in the cave of the trolls along with Beater (Glamdring) and Biter (Orcrist).
No, goblins are fictional creatures.
