Goblin

General Description: goblins.., are the descendants of humans and dwarves who were twisted physically and magically in an incident during the First War. While the body of a goblin is compact and almost lacking a waist, their limbs are long and spider-like equipped with hands and feet that makes them excellent climbers-- whether it's in a tree or rock. Their skin range in color from almost black to a dirty brown-beige, and their eyes are usually various shades of amber and orange. One aspect with the goblins that's considered unnerving by many, is that their facial features are quite beautifull and somewhat child-like, even if the rest of their bodies aren't too attractive, they can easily compete with the most famous elven beauties when it come to their faces.
Despite that the goblins are said to have two rather large cities somewhere on the northernmost continent, wandering groups of various sizes may be encountered almost anywhere at Lentheas-- which usually happen when a particular group is attacking your village or town. Goblins tend to be rather ruthless in combat, and they won't hesitate to resort to torture if there's something that they want, but at the same time-- a group of goblins work well together as a cohesive unit if their leader is strong enough. Disputes among individual goblins and attempt to raise in rank is usually determined through ritual combat-- as the use of weapons is banned, such fights are quite physical, but wits can be as important as muscles in determining the winner.
Theirs being a pathriarchal society, goblin females usually end up sitting at home and giving birth to the children of the male she's bonded to-- however, if a female is strong and determined enough, she may become a hunter or warrior by defeating the male leader of a group.

Originally Created by: Tioan.

Special Abilities: goblins have some telepathy-- enough to make them able to read the surface thoughts of others. From time to time, a goblin with some talent for magic is also born-- these usually being trained by some lesser sorcerer of another race that the goblins have captured and convinced to be the teacher.
