Goblins are small humanoids from the dark corners of the Feywild and its equivalent. They have spread to the Material Plane having been driven out by the other Fey, along with the other Goblinoids. They have took up residence in these worlds in dark out of the way places growing in number. They are like small, malicious and spiteful Fey. Each one can be quite cowardly and prefer to attack in numbers, especially if there are Elves and the like present. They have pointed raggedy ears, and greasy dark hair, as well as a large nose, reddish eyes, sharp teeth, and greasy skin ranging from brown to green depending on the tribe. Both sexes are present and can be quite hard to tell apart. The bosses are goblins who have fought, or more likely backstabbed their way to the top. They remain there until the same happens to them.

Suggested Environments

As goblins, they prefer abandoned buildings, ruins, caverns, dark forests, and the like.
