Goblin

^{Home > Rulebook > Races > Goblin}
Considered to be an urban legend, a myth of a creature, Goblins are doubted to even exist in the first place, with only a few recounts of goblins being seen by others, as they tend to linger just outside of others visions. Being unnoticed by others and a general anomaly and enigma on the consciousness of others, these elusive creatures are able to sneak their way in and out of establishments, perform assassinations, and do amazing underground work due to their sheer sneakiness.

Characteristics

Goblins are short creatures, with pointed ears, similar to those of Elves, however a Goblin’s ears are more pointed upwards, and are usually a bit smaller. Their faces are quite small, with a snarling nose, and sometimes even tusks. Their eyes are usually yellow coloured, with their skin being a hue of green.

Goblins are mischievous by nature, they tend to be secretive in their true nature, trying to avoid addressing their motives for their plans, even going out of their way to create fake, convoluted plans as a decoy for their true plans, Goblins are some of the most intelligent creatures when it comes to avoiding the truth, and hiding their true feelings.

Native Environments

Goblins typically exist in sewers, hidden alleyways and passages of various cities, or far off in caves and other locations, specifically, they choose to not be seen by others, any location where they can engage in deep, complicated plans and remain hidden is usually where a goblin would be found.

History

Goblins historically are known as urban legends, said to raid towns, unsuspecting houses and steal all valuable items, or kill and take food to survive, these small raiders historically make for great plots of any TV shows, however, Goblins in reality are far from raiders, and are highly-organised criminals, for stealing and selling others goods, their appearances are usually feared by others and are highly untrusted due to these myths created.

Society & Culture

Goblins are criminals through-and-through, with a mindset of organising their own societies in small groups, they are very secular in culture, the mastermind of the operation is usually the leader as they all accrue wealth, and have a similar style to that of pirates, causing mutinies if the groups aren’t paid enough.
