Goblin

M Mosson

Goblins are simple minded sapient creatures which live in the foothills of the Ayrshire Mountains^Link. They can be found in large numbers in many abandoned mines and caves near the mountain range. They are generally quite reclusive, but will attack humans and animals when they feel threatened.

Goblins live in large groups of anywhere between 10 - 60 goblins. They live like primitive humans and do have the technology to make fire and basic tools, but it is believed that their reasoning and problem solving skills are almost non-existent .

Anatomically, Goblins are similar to humans. Goblins are small and stocky, have pale green skin, an ugly face, and a bald head. Their skin is rough and covered in blemishes.

Genetics and Reproduction

Elven Scholars have difficulty differentiating between male and female goblins without close examination. Not much is known about their reproduction and no pregnant specimen has been found, but it is speculated that it is similar to humans.

Ecology and Habitats

Goblins ideal place to live is in a dark cave which intersects with either an underground river or the water table. This cave would ideally be near a wooded area which the Goblin can hunt and scavenge in.
