Anatomy
Bipedal humanoid species

Genetics and Reproduction
As with all other humanoid species, a male and female mate. The young gestate typically for around nine months (slight variations with some species and mixed species) in the mother's womb.
Growth Rate & Stages
Toddlers through to early infanthood are entirely dependent on a caring adult for their survival.
Young children through to adolescents, grow and fill out spending much of their time in peer aged groups learning variously (education can vary widely from region to region in Ashnoor, both in type and quality).
Adolescents, as with most other humanoid species is for around ten years, they can have growth spurts during this time and develop physically, mentally and emotionally into the adult they will become.
Whilst adopting many adult responsibilities from around sixteen years on, adult rites of passage are fairly consistently between early and mid-twenties widely across Ashnoor generally. With some exceptions.
Ecology and Habitats
Goblins are remarkably adaptable and seem to thrive in a wide variety of environments, both natural and manufactured.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Generally, being so widely populace, as with other humanoids they have diverse diets that meet their needs in a variety of ways.Goblins do not share the typical humanoid hunter gatherer origins, their forebears were typically scavengers, however, this too has lead to them being able to thrive on a wide range of foods, and combinations of food.
Also, as with other humanoid species, they tend to adopt local habits and customs, particularly if they're origins are from the region.
Biological Cycle
Whilst not particularly influenced by seasonal changes physically, they age with time physically, various signs show this.
Hair fading or greying, skin loosening and wrinkling, in some cases skin tone changing and the very old can become stooped and unsteady as their bodies deteriorate.
Behaviour
As wide ranging as any other sentient species.
