Physiology

Goblins tend to be shorter than hobbits but are much wider and stockier in appearance. Goblins have big frames, giving them quite a powerful if stooped build, a very corpulent slackened build, or variations in between. Goblins have very large heads with thick strong skulls; their eyes tend to be set slightly deep into these skulls providing them with a kind of natural helmet. Goblins have huge jaws filled with sharp teeth that are used to gouge chunks of flesh from opponents. Goblins tend to have an chimpanzee-like appearance with long gangly arms coming down just past their knees, their hands are much larger than their frame would suggest and can be clenched into powerful fists. Goblins tend to have dull green, dirty brown, or rusty red skin which is thick and becomes gnarled, knobbly and tough with age much like leather. Goblins have thick pungent smelling blood that is sticky and poisonous to most races especially faeries. Goblins tend to have an unbelievably high pain threshold seemingly not caring if they lose a finger or even a limb. Skin grows back quickly and often stronger and due to their bodies rarely succumbing to infection limbs can be replaced with wooden or metal replacements. In fact, goblins take immense pride in replacing their arms with crude yet complex contraptions, often removing a fully operational limb to do so. Goblins reproduce sexually in much the same manner as a dog or human but their females tend to carry only the young that can hang on for long periods of time. Since the maternal instinct is nearly gone from the species, goblin children develop muscles a lot faster than the other races due to having to hang onto the apathetic mother. Females of the species tend to be slightly larger but are much less muscular than the men folks. As goblins become more powerful they build up even more muscle and fat, this makes sure only the strongest can survive. Goblins tend to have dark hair and eyes but goblins born with yellow eyes tend to have better night-vision and become deadly hunters and trackers. A red-eyed goblin is almost definitely destined for the path of the shaman. The bone of a Goblin is unbelievably hard and takes many years to decompose; it is for this reason that when powerful Goblins die their family will make heavy clubs with their thigh-bones. The shamans tend to take the skulls, which when worn are very likely to stop any blow from damaging their heads. Goblins tend to reach physical maturity around fifteen years and mental maturity around twenty-five and can live to be around five hundred.

Goblins & Religion

Goblins follow a religion known as animism. They worship inanimate objects. A goblin's sword is his guardian god. A tree a food-god, hiding-place-god, or chair-father depending on how the goblin in question views the tree.

Goblins have little to no regard for life, putting more value on possessions. More possessions means more gods on your side. A bigger sword is a stronger god. There are no goblin heroes, only sword-gods that a goblin wielded to gain great victory.

The goblin race reveres weaponry as the highest form of god. The goblin owning the deadliest weapon is the leader, the second-in-command has the next deadliest, and so on. The goblin-priests search for the legendary king-god, the Ever-Shredding Armor of Nine-finger Nikk, lost to them ages ago when they waged the epic war against the giants, who never even noticed it occurring. The armor stuck to the bottom of a giant's sandal for a while, only to be scattered across the world of Hollow.
