Goblin
Basic Information
Anatomy
The goblin body is made up of the head, the neck, the torso, two arms, and two legs. Most goblins have tails of varying lengths, ranging from long prehensile fur tipped tails to small vestigial stubby tails- some goblins in civilized environments cut their tails as means of appearing more like those they share the society with. Goblins are small creatures standing little over 1 meter tall on average.
Mountain goblins have small rock-like protrusions made of hardened skin around the body.
Deep Cave goblins have extremely sensitive skin Aquatic goblins bear gills and webbed appendages that allow them to traverse aquatic environments with ease.

Additional Information
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Goblins are some of the most adaptable creatures that exist in Reghre, being able to not only survive but thrive in nearly any natural (and unnatural) environment. They prefer locations where they can set up some manner of a den or base of operations underground.
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
Goblins are well documented practicing brood parasitism. Goblins reproduce plentifully and often which most times is advantageous as it supplements the short and brutal lives many live- however, if a clan is struggling with an overabundance of goblins this can lead to a hefty strain on resources. To counter this, it is not unheard of for goblins to lessen their bunch's size by placing their young with those of other races for them to raise in their stead. While this can often lead to dead goblings, in some cases it leads to instances of fascinating cross-species interaction.
