Night Goblin Shaman is a 
Greenskins Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Shaman's Hut or Bone Nose Idols
Description[]
Night Goblin Shamans wear the easily-recognised hoods of their kind and are known for being particularly crazed due to eating vast quantities of hallucinogenic mushrooms. They are especially knowledgeable about fungus and only Night Goblin Shamans know the full rituals for growing, picking and preparing the deadly madcap mushrooms that can turn a Night Goblin into a ball-wielding Fanatic. It is said that a Night Goblin Shaman who eats too many mushrooms will eventually turn into a Shamanshroom, a magic-saturated fungal shoot. It is a damp, dull life as a mushroom, but it will probably get worse; as Shamanshrooms are highly coveted by other magic-casters, getting turned into one is surely a one-way ticket to being eaten alive.

Strategy[]
Night Goblin Shamans are a sneaky wizard. Stalk allows the sneaky git to remain hidden and pop in and out of enemy vision. He also has poison attacks which can help reduce an enemies effectiveness. Notably, he has no mount, so no means of escape if he is caught out of position or to quickly cast a spell wherever it's needed on the battlefield, comparing to Goblin Great Shaman who has Giant Wolf and even Catchweb Spidershrine. Mad Cap Mushrooms also allows him to recast a spell sooner. Overall, it's better to have a Goblin Great Shaman to lead the army, paired with an Orc Shaman and/or River Troll Hag instead of wasting Hero capacity on this Hero.
