Goblinoids.
Goblinoids were a group of closely related humanoids also known as goblins, not to be confused with the particular variety of the same name. Notable examples of the goblinoids included, but were not limited to, the goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears.
Basic Information
Biological Traits
The build of goblinoids was usually thick and muscular, with their faces possessing similar attributes. Their appearance was often regarded as repulsive by other peoples.
Civilization and Culture
Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
The typical goblinoid was lewd, cruel, sadistic, power-hungry (or in the case of goblins just plain hungry), extremely lacking in any intelligence or sophistication, and proud of it. Known for their habit of abusing those (at least by their reckoning) lesser than them, and worshiping those greater than them, goblinoids were not popular amongst other races.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Goblinoids rarely got along with themselves better than their enemies, though they were known to come together under a common cause on occasion. In such situations, hierarchy was usually determined by whoever would win in a fight, and it was not uncommon for them to find out through physical methods. To goblinoid thinking, elves and dwarves were particuarly nasty arch-enemies, humans were things to kill if possible and run from if not, halflings were perfect targets, and drow were creatures to be feared.
Genetic Descendants
Average Height
Heights varied greatly among different species of goblinoids, ranging from 3 to 7 feet (0.91 to 2.1 meters).
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Goblinoids had a typical humanoid anatomy, though their skin tone and texture was often somewhere between that of a human and a snail. The notable exception of this rule was the bugbears whose entire bodies were covered head to toe in thick fur.
