Rust Goblins

In the hidden recesses of Technomagica's sprawling underground, where forgotten machinery and discarded metal remnants accumulate, Rust Goblins thrive as scavengers and tinkerers. These diminutive beings are known for their insatiable curiosity, their affinity for all things metallic, and their propensity for crafting inventive contraptions from the city's discarded scraps.
Appearance: Rust Goblins are small and wiry creatures, standing no taller than three feet. Their skin is often covered in grime and soot, and their pointed ears and sharp, toothy grins give them a mischievous appearance. They dress in patched-together, cobbled clothing made from various pieces of scavenged metal and cloth. Their hands are dexterous and equipped with tools for tinkering.
Abilities: Despite their size, Rust Goblins possess a remarkable aptitude for machinery and technology. They can repair, modify, and even jury-rig complex devices with surprising skill. Their inherent magical abilities allow them to communicate with and influence machines, making them adept at navigating the city's technomagical infrastructure.
Behavior: Rust Goblins are naturally curious and resourceful. They are drawn to abandoned factories, forgotten underground tunnels, and derelict machinery, where they scavenge for parts and materials to fuel their inventive endeavors. While they tend to be secretive and avoid larger city-dwellers, they are not inherently malicious and will rarely attack unless provoked.
Encounters: Players may encounter Rust Goblins in the hidden and neglected corners of Technomagica, particularly in areas where discarded technology and machinery accumulate. Interactions can range from negotiating for their assistance in repairing or modifying equipment to dealing with the consequences of Rust Goblins tampering with important city systems.
Loot: Rust Goblins can be valuable allies for players who respect their expertise. They may offer assistance in repairing or upgrading equipment, crafting technomagical items, or providing information about hidden passages and secrets within the city. However, players should be cautious, as Rust Goblins' curiosity can sometimes lead to unexpected and chaotic outcomes.
Rust Goblins bring an element of whimsy and ingenuity to Technomagica, offering players opportunities for creative problem-solving and interactions with the city's eccentric inhabitants. Their affinity for technology and machinery makes them a unique addition to the urban landscape.
