The cave goblin miners are found outside of Dorgesh-Kaan in the Dorgeshuun Mines. They can be found strutting about the rocks or mining ore. They wield a bone pickaxe that is not obtainable by players, but instead is just used to symbolise the Dorgeshuun's ability to adapt to new use of materials. If you are found attacking one, a cave goblin guard will yell, "Stop that!", and will target you.

Trivia
- There are four different variants of miners, with each having their own variant whilst idling or mining. Interestingly, one of the mining variant's chathead still uses the original cave goblin model, rather than the newer model all other cave goblins have used since early 2007.
