Goblin Shaman

Do you believe that a goblin casting a few fire bolts or dark tentacles is truly a concern? Regrettably, I must inform you that there are goblin shamans possessing a greater reservoir of mana and an extensive array of spells. One must exercise great caution when dealing with these goblin shamans, for they possess a diverse array of spells, and no two of them share the same spell list. There are only two things you can be sure of that lie within their expertise: destruction spells and healing spells. There are others beyond those known to them or documented in their use. Should you encounter one, I recommend dispatching it swiftly, for the chaos it may unleash on the battlefield is unpredictable and potentially devastating.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Goblin Shamans bear a resemblance to their goblin brethren, standing just a bit taller, by about half a head. They are slender,  bipedal creatures  Featuring a notably large head. enriched with elongated, pointed ears and eyes that shimmer in deep shades of black or red, cutting through the darkness with an unsettling intensity. They have sharp, elongated teeth crafted for the purpose of slicing through any flesh that crosses their path. Goblin Shamens have five fingers, which enables them Invoke and master their magic

Biological Traits

Goblin Shamen possess an abundant reservoir of mana, seemingly gifted with innate spells, as it appears improbable that these demented creatures acquire knowledge in any conventional manner.  It seems unlikely that they engage in any serious study or rigorous practice to master these spells. Their armament will undoubtedly include both healing and destructive spells.

The Goblin Shamen derived their name from a Hunter known as Shashan Ren. One night in the woods, a pack of goblins encircled a goblin shaman. Shashan proclaims to the divine that the Goblins were seen venerating the taller Goblin as it bestowed healing and blessings upon them. They discovered the tribe of Goblin and observed something akin to that, bestowing upon it the name Goblin Shamen.

They possess no divine abilities whatsoever. They are more adept than wizards in using healing magic, and they do appear to have a talent for the arcane arts. With their destruction school of magic you're going to assume that they will unleash chaos and mayhem. Additionally, they have access to various schools of spells, such as conjuration, aberration, enchantment, and necromancy. However, except from detecting magic, they don't appear to have ever learned any spells from the divine school throughout history.

Ecology and Habitats

A Goblin Shamen is seldom found alone; they thrive in the company of their kin, often residing in the depths of the ground or within the walls of forsaken structures. They prefer to be in the company of many, finding comfort in the presence of a crowd.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Goblin Shamens  consume food similarly to their goblin counterparts; they primarily thrive on a carnivorous diet but can digest a variety of substances. They consume little unless they draw heavily from their reserves of Mana. And then they find themselves profoundly hungry, leading them to consume whatever they can grasp.

Behaviour

Goblin Shamen represent a distinct group of goblins, particularly in terms of their character traits. That is due to their apparent greater intelligence compared to the typical goblins. They are the only kind of goblin known to have assisted and tended to the wounds of any injured goblin. It has been concluded by knowledgeable individuals that this action is taken for the sake of their own survival, in a manner of speaking. They are drawn to the comfort and strength found in the company of many. It appears they have come to understand that a greater number of goblins reduces their chances of peril. They show no reluctance to unleash chaos and devastation, even if it means sacrificing a few of their own for the sake of survival. They have appears that they have been observed issuing commands, or at the very least, when a goblin shaman is presence all of the other goblins, actions seem to exhibit greater coordination.

Additional Information

Average Intelligence

Goblin shamans are intelligent creatures do not think just because they are galvas that they or just low intelligence oh oh chaos explosion. There is recorder down using tactics understanding the battlefield or learning how to do stuff quite fast. In Doctor Weinstein studies he said that the goblin shaman can learn twice as fast as any other goblin and seems to apply a bit of critical thinking. Though it still does not explain how they communicate because no matter what even the goblin shaman cannot learn a language. And thanks to the Goblin Shaman we're beginning to expect there might be some kind of other way they're communicating that we have not discovered

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Goblin Shamen share many sensory system with goblins, possessing excellent dark vision and average sensory system. Some possess the rare gift of perceiving the unseen forces of magic. Should you ever encounter goblin's shaman eyes the glowing, it is likely that they possess the ability to perceive the mana surrounding both living beings and enchanted objects. It remains uncertain whether they grasp the essence of what lies before them or truly comprehend it. Leading experts  indicate that it provides them with a broader spectrum of color, fostering a desire for additional possessions.
