	'''Stinky''' is one of the [[~~goblins~~]] in the City Watch novel {{SN}}.

There are definite hints that there's more to Stinky than meets the eye; he knows things he couldn't possibly know, and alludes to being a protector of sorts for the Goblin race in general.

While he does not know how to read, he is quick to learn the letters by their shapes. His ability to communicate with animals gives him the skills of a horse whisperer. When Sam Vimes — with reluctance bordering on fear — needs to mount a fast horse to chase after the murderer, Stinky calms the horse and gets it to kneel for Vimes to straddle it with ease.
