Goblin
Goblin
Goblins have broad, thick noses; pointed ears, and small, sharp fangs. Their skin and eyes vary in color from green to grey for the skin and a multitude of colours for the eyes. Goblins either have no hair on their heads or they sport brightly coloured hair. All members of the same tribe normally shared the same skin colour.
Despite being from the Ogre bloodline, Goblin intuition, resourcefulness the appearance of civility earned them a place in the Freeholds and Cerulean Kingdom. Many educated Goblins work in middle-class establishments such as workshops, markets and public drinking houses. They usually have a keen sense and are very observant, especially when it comes to materials and minerals that interest them. Goblins tend to be treasure-hunters. Goblins get a bad reputation due to their less scrupulous kin outside of the Kingdom, as well as their Ogrish cousins. Many Goblins of repute take it personally when they are compared to others unlike them.
Goblins are less likely to be phased or startled when around individuals much larger than themselves, Orcs, Trolls and Bugbears are something most Goblins have been used to interacting with in the past. It's in some Goblins however to tease smaller races in similar ways they were teased by their Ogrish cousins, especially to the few who become Hobgoblins.
