Across the universe, there are many worlds with many creatures and the realm of giants is no exception. With sentient beings that stand twice sometimes three times the size of any sorcerer. Some of these intelligent species call themselves Greenskins, typically cause of their green or blue skin. Being brutish and barbaric in nature. With societies that heavily focus on power and strength to determine who rules and who is left behind.
The Various Creatures:
While many different sepecies fall under the banner of greenskins, there are a few that are more prominent than others. The most well known and dangerous being the Orcs. Muscular beasts with protruding tusks standing over 10ft tall and casting imposing shadows wherever they walk.
Where there are orcs, Goblins are sure to follow. A species with a dozen varieties and have spread across not just the realm but the universe. Tiny creatures in their native lands, only being 2ft - 3ft in size. Out of fear, they often travel in hordes and often bullied into doing the bidding of others.
The remaining greenskins make up less of the population but can still be a threat to travellers who are not prepared. These creatures include the likes of Trolls in the caves, Ogres in the swamps and Hobgoblins who roam the forests.
Life of a Greenskin:
No matter their differences, most greenskins live in some sort of clan. With a singular creature acting as their leader. This leader is chosen in the form of combat much like every decision. For every disagreement and internal conflict within the clan, a battle is the way it is resolved. An unspoken rule that almost all greenskins honour. If a pair of greenskins have entered combat before, the outcome is final and they are bound by the rules of the clan to not fight for the same reason again. Or else they face exile from the clan.
Since the creation of the first greenskins, who were supposedly sculpted by the gods from earth and stone, there has been an natural hatred for anything that is different to themselves. Forming a relationship of hatred with Paleskin creatures, calling enemies and choosing to fight them any chance they can. The life of a greenskin is labour intense, primitive in some ways and always chaotic. But the strange customs and rules of the greenskins are ones that have lasted for thousands of years and allowed them to thrive in the realm of monsters.
