Goblin

Goblins are a mixed bag in Minrath. There are plenty that interact and engage with other races in a peaceful manner, even some own shops in the larger cities. However, many goblins still reside in caves or floating raft cities cut off from the outside world with some resorting to banditry/piracy. This gives goblins as a whole a stigma that is hard to shake even for the most refined goblin. Those goblins that do resort to crime are not often seen as a threat, more a nuisance, unless they are lead by a Hobgoblin. Many feared pirate ships are helmed by a Hobgoblin with a Goblin crew.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Goblins are highly morphable and able to live in very harsh conditions. Due to this some variants have developed traits to help them survive in their habitats. Example: Some goblins that live at sea develop gills and/or webbed hands and feet.

Naming Traditions

Many goblins are given in a birthname in their native tongue, however, for those that go out into the world they often choose a common name that describes some aspect of their personality.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

Goblins come primarily in three colors. Those that have ancestors from forests are green, while those that have lived at sea for a long time are blue. Lesser seen are the grey goblins that live in the mountains and below. Many goblins also mark their bodies with tribal tattoos, paints, and piercings.
