Goblin

Goblins are terrifying subterranean creatures that live in vast caverns beneath Olmir. They are considered to be the greatest enemy of the Dwarves and are exterminated with extreme prejudice when they enter the Dwarven Warrens. They are almost entirely blind, have a very simple form of echolocation. They stand roughly five and a half feet tall and are heavily muscled with sharp claws and sharper fangs. Traveling through a dark tunnel deep underground and hearing their quick, chirping noises as they locate their prey is one of the most terrifying experiences on Ashaia.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Goblins speak their own language, a mix of guttural grunts and shrieks. Older goblins tend to have a crude grasp on dwarven, though it is mutilated by their gravely, rasping voices.

Common Dress code

They are completely comfortable without clothing, but wear pieces of dwarven armor or bones as war trophies, giving them a bastardized dwarven sense of style.

Common Myths and Legends

Dwarven researchers believe that goblins have a society of some sort, with a warrior king who is very old and powerful, but even the deepest mines of Olmir have not found any trace of goblin civilization. Some researchers believe that the goblin civilization must be a myth, but no matter how deep the dwarves dig, there are always more goblins.
