The carrion birds aren't the only ones.  An experimental sampling told
the hitchiker that these goblins were in fact Packed with nummies like
long-chain fatty acids, glucose derivatives, Enormous protien chains, and
even bigger ribonucleic acids.  Even the parasites that they carried with
them were nutritious.  A quick spike of a carrion bird's pain neurons cleared
one of the corpses of other scavangers, and the hitchiker set to work
digesting.

'Beats the heck outta subsoil bacteria.' he told himself.  "These goblins
are pretty good.  You want some?" He asked Foxmore.
