Goblin

A subterranean folk, goblins can be found in every corner of the multiverse. Goblins thrived in dangerous domains thanks to a supernatural knack for finding the weak spots in foes larger than themselves and for getting out of trouble. Many Goblins still follow the archfey that rules the courts.

Behaviour

A goblin tribe is organized in a four-tiered caste system made up of lashers, hunters, gatherers, and pariahs. The status of every family in the tribe is based on its importance to the tribe’s survival. Families that belong to the higher-ranking castes keep their status by not sharing their knowledge and skills with other families, while those in the lower castes have little hope of escaping their plight.

Outsiders who don’t understand the goblins’ social system are sometimes surprised by how different castes interact with them. A single human warrior might frighten away a dozen gatherers, only to be shocked when two hunters viciously attack. A captured group of invaders might hang in a net while dozens of goblins pass by and pay them no heed until a group of gatherers shows up.
