Goblin



Goblins are small huminoids that many consider little more than a nuisance. They have flat faces, broad noses, pointed ears, and small, sharp fangs. Their foreheads slope back, and their eyes vary in colour from red to yellow. Their skin coulour ranges from yellow through any shade of orange to a deep red; usually all members of the same tribe share the same coloured skin.

Being bullied by bigger, stronger creatures has taught goblins to exploit what few advantages they have: sheer numbers and malicious ingenuity. The concept of a fair fight is meaningless in their society. They favour ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise. They are quite cowardly and will likely flee if a battle turns against them.

Goblins are tribal. Their leaders are generaly the strongest and sometimes the smartest around. They have almost no concept of privacy, living and sleeping in large common areas; Only the leaders live seperatly.

Goblins survive by raiding and stealing, sneaking into lairs, villages, and even towns by night to take what they can. They are not above waylaying travelers on the road or in forests and stripping them of all possessions, including the clothes on their backs. Goblins sometimes capture slaves to perform hard labour in the tribes lair or camp.
