Re:Goblin[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Re:Goblins are small, green-skinned humanoids with sharp features and muscular builds. Their eyes are often a vibrant yellow or red, and they have pointed ears and teeth. Despite their small stature, they are deceptively strong and resilient, traits which are further enhanced through their unique ability to evolve by consuming the flesh of other creatures.
History[edit]
Re:Goblins originated from deep within forests and caves, living in tribal societies. Over time, some evolved beyond their primitive roots, becoming more civilized and integrating with other societies. Their history is marked by a struggle for survival and a relentless drive for self-improvement, often leading them to seek out stronger creatures to consume and evolve from.
Society[edit]
Re:Goblins live in small, close-knit communities that value strength and cunning. Leadership is often earned through displays of power and wisdom. While they can be ferocious warriors, they also possess a deep sense of camaraderie and loyalty to their kin. Their ability to evolve makes them highly adaptable, and they often serve as scouts, warriors, or even sages in larger societies.
Re:Goblin Names[edit]
Re:Goblin names are often guttural and harsh-sounding, reflecting their rugged lifestyle. Names are typically short, with many choosing to adopt new names upon significant evolutions.
Male: Rou, Grix, Tog, Var
Female: Gura, Lix, Zia, Kog
