Rieklings are small, blue-skinned, goblin-like tribesmen native to Solstheim, added by the Dragonborn add-on. They live in tribes led by a chief, throw spears with nasty accuracy, love ambushes – popping out of barrels or the ground – and some even ride Bristleback boars into battle.
Where to find them
Caves, camps and ruins all over Solstheim. Benkongerike, a large ice cave, is one of their biggest homes. Thirsk Mead Hall is the centre of their story: in the quests “Retaking Thirsk” and “The Chief of Thirsk Hall” you can either fight them or end up as their chief.
Variants
On foot: Riekling, Scout, Hunter and Warrior. Mounted on boars: Riekling, Rider, Courser and Charger – the Charger reaching level 40.

How to beat it
Deal with the spear-throwers first and don't let a group surround you. Against riders, the boar is the real threat – sidestep its charge.
