Goblin

I tell you this if you ever see one Goblin, then there will be more not too far behind, and then you will be in trouble if you are alone. - Veteran Warrior

Goblins are a vile race of small humanoids considered rodents due to their nature and upbringing. One of many creations of the Warlock lords, Goblins are found across the Continent of Norria, often being found in caves and ruins where they make their homes. They commonly attack people and steal things from others for any reason; they have even been known to steal babies occasionally. Many hate their nature and their horrid smell as they do not bathe and are considered parasites due to taking just about anything and not making or growing anything on their own.
