Goblin King

The most formidable and fearsome incarnation of a goblin.It is not the goblin that possesses great magical prowess or immense strength. It is the creature that possesses the ability to command and utilize an entire Goblin community. Being a Goblin King means possessing the ability to command all goblins within the hive, regardless of their physical proximity. Should a Goblin King emerge, the goblins will exhibit greater organization and enhanced cunning, each prepared to sacrifice their existence for the sake of their ruler.  Should you discover the presence of a Goblin King, take swift action to eliminate him before he has the chance to mobilize his forces.

Basic Information

Anatomy

goblin kings are about the size of doors just like their Hobgoblin brother. They are bipedal creatures but they tend to be on the Husky side. Their ears are sharp and pointed, while their eyes shimmer in deep shades of black or red, cutting through the shadows with an eerie brilliance. These creatures have sharp, elongated teeth developed for tearing through any flesh they come across. Goblin Kings have five fingers, enabling them to effectively wield tools and grasp anything within reach to use as a weapon.

Biological Traits

The magical abilities of goblin kings are not as extensive as those of a Goblin Shamen, but they are sufficient to enable them to survive. Their spells are from the school of enchantment and devastation. The enchantment school's spells appeared to emphasize command and control. These spills may be employed against monsters and other creatures by these goblin kings. They have attempted to apply them to sentient beings, and there is a favorable by weird result. Some individuals have reported that they do not hear a voice or a command from the goblin, but they experience a sensation or an emotion that prompts them to act. This is the source of the notion that a telepathic field may exist. However, additional investigations are required, as conventional methods have not provided any results.

Growth Rate & Stages

Their groceries like any other goblin or hobgoblin takes about two years. The only way to tell that they are a goblin king by this point it is just that they seem to be able to dress nicer and they will have the most food. As they mature, their physiques will change, often resulting in more pronounced midsections, and it appears they consistently adorn themselves with some type of regal crown by the time they reach adulthood.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Goblin Kings share a hearty appetite with their goblin kin, consuming whatever they can seize with little regard for anything else. The distinction lies in the fact that the goblin king is perpetually feasting, receiving offers from the hive or simply indulging in his meals. Wherever you encounter a goblin king, you can be certain that something is being consumed in its presence. This habit is the reason for their large bellies.

Behaviour

Goblin Kings are the most lazy and empowered goblins in existence. They will do so after they have located their residence and the largest chamber in the hive. They seldom depart, requesting that the all goblin bring them food and valuables as a form of tribute. While they continue to consume food and maintain an attractive appearance. In spite of their gifted magical abilities and robust physique, they are exceedingly indolent. Their laziness has reached such extremes that it has become a colloquial term to refer to a self-centered, righteous, and lazy monarch as one. If you ever hear an individual refer to their monarch or queen as the ruler of the goblins or any variation of that. The monarchy is in a state of turmoil.

The garbage cans are also so self-centered that they will literally sacrifice the entire hide in order to safeguard themselves.They will even command the other variants to protect and sacrifice them self. Research is still underway to determine how Goblin King or and other commanding the other. It has been suspected that there is a low telepathic field that we have not been able to detect.
