Goblin

A goblin is a small, cunning creature with a distinctive appearance. It stands about 3 to 4 feet tall and possesses sharp, pointed ears, a bulbous nose, and beady, cunning eyes. Goblins typically have greenish or grayish skin that often appears mottled or dirty.

Known for their mischievous and opportunistic nature, goblins are often found in large groups or tribes, inhabiting caves, forests, or other secluded areas. Despite their individual weakness, goblins compensate with their sheer numbers and resourcefulness.

Goblins are agile and nimble, capable of swift movements and evading attacks. They are skilled in wielding simple weapons such as shortbows, spears, and scimitars. Cunning and adept at setting traps, goblins often employ ambush tactics or hit-and-run strategies to harass their enemies.

Fiercely aggressive and driven by their survival instincts, goblins exhibit a penchant for chaos and mayhem. They seek wealth and power but lack strong organization or intelligence. Many goblins fall under the influence of more powerful creatures or are led by stronger goblin bosses or hobgoblin leaders.

Encountering goblins can present challenges to individuals or groups, both in combat and through potential opportunities for negotiation or deception. Their presence in the wilderness, ruins, or other locations may indicate the existence of larger threats or conflicts.
