Goblin Lord

A Goblin Lord stands tall—by goblin standards—exuding an aura of menace and control. Unlike the scrappy, disorganized goblins that follow them, the Lord is a calculating and ruthless tyrant, sharpened by the collective will of hundreds. Their eyes gleam with intelligence and cruelty, wielding both blade and magic with precision. Under their command, goblins become more than an unruly mob; they transform into a disciplined war machine, capable of laying waste to entire towns. Those who face a Goblin Lord often find that killing them is only half the battle—surviving the wrath of their vengeful hordes is the other.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

Goblin Lords can be found in the largest and most dangerous goblin territories, often residing in ruined fortresses, vast underground networks, or strongholds built deep within inhospitable landscapes. These locations are usually inaccessible or heavily fortified, allowing the Goblin Lord and their followers to operate with impunity. Goblin Lords are known to gather their hordes in places that are easy to defend but provide access to resources or vulnerable targets, such as forested valleys near villages or forgotten ruins overlooking trade routes.

Behaviour

A Goblin Lord is the rare and terrifying result of hundreds or even thousands of goblins uniting under a single leader. Unlike their chaotic kin, Goblin Lords exhibit strategic brilliance, leveraging the strength of their vast tribe to raid, pillage, and expand their influence. They are often more ruthless and cunning, using intimidation, fear, and the occasional show of dark magic to maintain control over their subjects. A Goblin Lord is not just a war leader; they are a symbol of goblin power, consolidating the tribe’s shared mana pool to become stronger and more deadly with each goblin under their command. They are relentless in pursuing dominance over rival tribes and neighboring settlements.
