Goblin



Goblins are small, crafty, and scheming. They love to steal and fight, and are often found in large roaming groups. Goblins are born from the earth, laid by massive brood mothers that birth hundreds of ichor covered sacs at a time. The brood mothers work much like a queen in a hive, and if one dies another female goblin will soon take her place. Brood mothers will often keep many other choice females at their sides. More often than not these females will act as both a personal guard an political entourage. Craftier goblins may choose to leave their brood mothers to try their fates on their own. There are known goblin hordes that have no brood mothers, and instead revolve around powerful and cunning warrior lords. Some goblin hosts have been known to enslave ogres or trolls as workhorses, occasionally cross-breeding the two to create stupid but powerful offspring. Goblins are often born the colour of the earth they are laid in. This leads to wide variety of colours, and goblins born of the same colour are happy to mock and hate goblins of other areas. In-fighting between goblin hordes is common, and it is rare to see goblins of different colours working together, unless they follow an unusually charismatic or powerful leader.
