Ghe'zali (Goblinoid)

As the Dark Spirits spread over the globe from the demise of Na'groth, many of their energies coalesced into masses in certain locations. Creatures and emerging humanoids were changed in the process and slowly altered to these forms. While some still embody their primitive aggressive notions under the control of darkness, some of these creatures have evolved further and broken free of the chains of their dark masters.
