Racial Description

Small and Wiry: Standing around 3 feet tall and covered in warty green or red skin, Goblins have huge noses and ears. Their wiry bodies are surprisingly strong. and their mouths are full of sharp, crooked teeth. Most Goblins are bald, either by heredity or by choice, but a few boast shocks of red or black hair. Their arms and legs are elongated in proportion to their small bodies, and their fingers and toes are also long and slender. Many goblins prefer to go unshod to leave their toes exposed for climbing.   Unfettered Emotion: Creatures of raw impulse they are sometimes driven by wild mood swings, Goblins have an inclination toward destruction, which can take a playful form but is often anything but. Some Goblins clobber things, others like to light them on fire, and many love to blow things up. Goblins have an outrageous sense of humor, usually expressed through mischievous pranks. The malicious among them find pleasure in the misfortune of others and tend to cackle maniacally whenever they're amused. They can act with apparent randomness, sometimes just to confuse and befuddle others.   Goblin Names: The Goblin language is fond of certain sounds, and Goblin names tend to repeat those sounds to form what can sound like nonsense words. A Goblin's name gives no indication of gender.
