Lore behind Gobwalker mount?

[Anonymoose]

<...> can Goblins also use magic or are they just as inept as garleans? Don't recall any goblins casting spells so far.

This is one of those times where I feel like I should know an answer but I don't remember anything of value. Goblins can't be completely inept with aetherial arts or Mutamix would be unable to work materia, right? But off the top of my head I can only remember Goblins attacking with resources that implied they were great tinkerers and alchemists... I hate to do it, but I'm gonna rely on tradition for a start: FFXIV goblins are nearly (if not) identical to their FFXI incarnations, down to the naming conventions. Though they were rare, goblin mages did exist (grumble-maker-prof-grumble).
