Goblyns are hunched creatures dressed in primitive clothes, with greasy straggly hair down to their shoulders, pointed ears, and mouths filled with sharp teeth. They rarely use weapons, and prefer to bite their opponents, preferring fresh meat to eat, and blood to drink. Red glowing eyes give of a savage demeanour. They rarely attack though, unless provoked, hungry, or compelled to my their master. This master is usually the mage that created them for they were originally humans altered by magic rituals involving the control of humans. They have a telepathic link to their master, and other mages & some clerics hunt down Goblyns for study, and to use components of their brains for spells & rituals in controlling other humans. They can go a long time without food or drink.
