Goblin

Goblins are a race of small and numerous goblinoids common throughout Avalonia, often living in underground caverns near the surface known as lairs. The race is often dominated by other goblinoids, most commonly hobgoblins. Goblins may have, in fact, been initially created by this related race to serve as scouts and infiltrators.
Like other goblinoids, goblins often have a short temper and are more easily provoked than individuals of most other races. They often find it difficult to overcome their short fuse, and have a sense of greed that made it difficult for them to act altruistically. They also generally take sadistic pleasure in exacting revenge once crossed.
Young goblins are taught, from an early age, to rely only on themselves and to survive, they need to be aggressive and ruthless. Despite their generally poor reputation, not all goblins are dim-witted or evil. Some goblins have risen to become heroes, gaining enough renown to be accepted into the civilized world serving good rather than to serve evil.
