Goblins
Goblins are vile little creatures, who are always up to no good!
It is alleged that the goblins of Ulthomel were created by a Green Hag attempting to create magical servants out of animal parts and magical ingredients and throwing them into a cauldron. However, this ritual backfired and the creatures that emerged had ideas of their own about the idea of indentured servitude. They murdered the hag and, through careful study of her grimoire (and many, MANY failures), they figured out how to perform the ritual and started to propagate their species on their own- eventually splitting off into multiple tribes with different ideals. Goblins are created through a ritual where every member of the tribe contributes something to the pot, like a stew. Animal carcasses, plants, even shiny coins and gems or anything else that the goblin would like to contribute. The chaotic nature of this ritual and the countless things that could affect it means that every ‘batch’ of newborn goblins is a wholly unique individual. collect things, whether it be physical or abstract- worth fortunes or next to nothing. Each goblin generally has a niche (possibly as esoteric as collecting “stories” or “experiences”), but most like to collect coins, gems, or neat shaped rocks, though it’s usually something thrown into the stew that bonded with them. They also often have a personality that correlates with whatever type of animal they’re bonded with (If they are bonded with one at all). A goblin’s appearance is as unique as a fingerprint, perhaps even more so. Few things are consistent, such as their short stature and large ears, but that’s about it. If a goblin is bonded with an animal they’ll usually exhibit at least one trait of that animal, such as a lizard’s scaly skin, or a racoon’s bushy tail. Other times, however, a goblin may exhibit more unique traits. A tribe that throws a lot of crystals into the stew might get a Batch with skin covered in gemstones. Perhaps a goblin might come out of the pot with grass and leaves where they should have hair!
Hobgoblins are almost twice the size of regular Goblins, and are created from the same ritual that creates goblins- but they don’t typically know how it happens. Usually a hobgoblin will assume a position of power in Goblin society, turning a tribe of individualistic creatures with nothing but a desire to experience the world, into a well-organized and cunning force of nature with directed purpose.
