Goblin

Goblin
Goblins are small creatures which live within caves and underground lairs. In particular, they make their homes within an old mine in the Myst Forest, as well as in the Dragonspine Forest. They usually have grey or brown skin which helps them blend into their subterranean habitat, and possess large, pointed ears along with light sensitive eyes. Although somewhat ugly in appearance, these creatures are adept at survival and, although not very bright, are able to use simple tools and magic.

These small creatures breed quickly. It is not unusual for a female goblin to give birth to twins, or even triplets. These juvenile goblins can usually fend for themselves after the first few years and so require little parental guidance.

Goblins are highly territorial, and so will attack any creature that ventures into their lairs. They keep women and young goblins deep within their underground homes, and so adventurers usually encounter males in their wanderings.

These creatures usually worship the goddess, Rabio. Their shamans are in tune with her will and are able to cast spells in her name. They sometimes join orcs on their rampages through settlements, though they are certainly not a formidable fighting force. However, since goblins breed quickly, they use numbers to overwhelm their opponent.
