Rieklings are small goblin-like creatures that can be found inhabiting the assorted ruins and caves throughout Solstheim. These creatures live in tribes led by a chief (exemplified by the Riekling Chief at Thirsk Mead Hall) and are usually hostile. Rieklings speak a language native to them, while some individuals have also learned to speak a crude version of the common tongue of men. In combat, Rieklings attack in swarms, sometimes mounted on bristlebacks, and may also pop out of barrels. They carry Riekling spears, which they throw at you from a distance and use as melee weapons. These spears can be equipped by you as arrows.
It is possible for you to become a Riekling clan's chief and in doing so, have access to a Riekling, Riekling scout, Riekling hunter, or Riekling warrior follower. The Riekling scout will equip a bow if it is placed in its inventory, while the Riekling hunter will do the same with a two-handed sword.[verification needed — see talk page] If you have a follower, you may need to dismiss them before being able to recruit a Riekling. Quickly dismissing your follower, then adding the Riekling, and finally rehiring your follower is an effective workaround.

Chant at Beast Stone
During the quest Cleansing the Stones, you may come across a group of Rieklings under Miraak's influence building around the Beast Stone. This is the chant that the Rieklings recite, similar in cadence to the chants recited by other races while building around the other All-Maker Stones.
- "Wafoo athaaaal."
- "Bertiflik a goroowala."
- "Hra woong aba."
- "Tika twafaara filik."
- "Wilberk tikflaaar."
- "Yuchaaa tungar cha tiweki."
- "Bura warag faaanig."
- "Tiri fuklik taaar aburak."

Notes
- The Riekling spear is treated as an arrow, therefore if a Riekling is struck with an arrow that is more powerful than its spear, it can equip that arrow as his weapon, and "throw" the arrows at you at much higher speeds, which cause more damage than the Riekling spear.
- Rieklings are based on the goblins created during the Game Jam.
