He is the first goblin to become an officer in the Shire Watch, patrolling the villages and lanes near the Ramkin country estate, [[Crundells]]. He also becomes an operator of the newly erected [[clacks]] tower although he does not know how to read, as he is a quick learner. He was also known to show extreme resilience to physical damage, as he was crushed by Mr. Stratford, but was fine later.  A horse whisperer, he seems able to communicate with animals. When Sam Vimes — with reluctance bordering on fear —  mounted a fast horse to chase after the murderer, Stinky calmed the horse and got it to kneel for easier dismount.
There are definite hints that there's more to Stinky than meets the eye; he survives what should have been a fatal injury at the hands (well, feet) of the infamous [[Stratford]], knows things he couldn't possibly know, and alludes to being a protector of sorts for the goblin race in general. Whatever else he may be, he is also at one point a probationary special constable of the Shire Watch, and the first goblin watchman on the Disc.

Stinky is one of the goblins in the City Watch novel Snuff. He is first seen on the property of Constable Feeney Upshot after the arrest of Sam Vimes in connection with the suspected murder of Jethro Jefferson. Stinky was the first to ask the venerable watchmen for "JUST-ICE!"

His name comes from his absolute stink. Sam Vimes noted that it wasn't so much a smell as a sensation of your dental enamel evaporating.

There are definite hints that there's more to Stinky than meets the eye; he survives what should have been a fatal injury at the hands (well, feet) of the infamous Stratford, knows things he couldn't possibly know, and alludes to being a protector of sorts for the goblin race in general. Whatever else he may be, he is also at one point a probationary special constable of the Shire Watch, and the first goblin watchman on the Disc.
