HemoGoblins appear to be a mix of a green demon and mosquito. Their keen eyes are able to see far in the darkness which help them with navigate the cave systems they usually live in or to seek blood. Their diminutive stature is not as debilitating due to their strength and hovering letting them keep up with groups. Their long proboscis is used to painlessly drain the blood of their prey and enemies.
History/Society
The HemoGoblin society live in caves, rarely interacting with other races. Due to this, they are often opposed to socializing and are succinct in their speech. HemoGoblins are rare to see outside of their caves as they live in swarms: feeding on animals and other prey that come into their home. Some may have reason to leave, whether it be to adventure, to go against the precedent set by their elders or some other reason. Most HemoGoblins who leave their clan (called lost HemoGoblins) leave because they want the taste of different types of blood, other than the blood of cave rats and bats they usually feed upon.
