Goblins

About

An innately evil race (some exceptions have been found), Goblins tend to be small to medium in stature, possessing green or brown skin. They are driven by the force of instinct to move in hordes and most have a taste for plundering and pillaging.

An extremely diverse race, most Goblins are exceedingly stupid while others would be considered brilliant by human standards. Their communities are equally diverse; many goblins serve as mercenaries for other races while others come together into communities. Many times these Goblin communities will appoint a Boss or King.

In addition to regular goblins, there are larger, stronger, and generally smarter breeds known as Hobgoblins. Most often yellow skinned, these superior goblinoids can mate with regular goblins and the offspring can either be Goblin or Hobgoblin. Although many Hobgoblins have no interest in leadership, those who do can easily find themselves the leader of a goblin community without much effort.

The most feared form of Goblin is rarely even known as a Goblin, these furred aberrations are known as Bugbears and are the pinnacle of Goblin powers.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Although not true of all Goblins, many of the lesser ones are vulnerable to magic, making any kind of spells more effective than a standard weapon.

Locations:

Goblins are most commonly seen on the continent of Lensmoor. They have held a longstanding invasion against the town of Chancy on the mainland as well as two major settlements on the island of Tikol.
