Goblin
Goblins are nasty and ill-tempered balls of destruction. If there is ever an outbreak of mass chaos you can be assured that a Goblin was somehow involved.
They stand roughly 3 feet in height and inhabit the least sanitary locations imaginable.
Goblins live like vermin and they breed like vermin, you cannot rid yourself of them. There was a time when Goblins were trapped and hunted like wild animals as a means of population control. It is whispered that this still occurs in some regions of the world.
Goblins hate everyone and everything and those feelings are whole heartily reciprocated by the non-goblin population.
They are allowed within the towns simply for the fact that you cannot get rid of them and truth-be-told, they do play an important role in the city’s infrastructure by unwittingly keeping the sewers flowing.
Their constant tunneling and slogging through the city sewer and drainage systems keeps the paths clear of debris that would normally clog the pipes and pathways.
Goblins get a particular joy from harassing Dwarves and Green Elves but they have a high level of fear of Dark Elves.
In the past, countless generations of dark elves had been known to keep Goblins as pets and slaves, typically for the purpose of amusement.
The goblins ability to survive and thrive in the least hospitable and unsanitary locations made them ideal for being kept in great numbers with minimal care in even the dingiest of dungeons.
This practice is no longer as prevalent, especially after the events of the Goblin Uprising but it still causes Goblins to steer well clear of Dark Elves.
Due to centuries of being impotent against them, the fear of Dark Elves is deeply embedded in Goblin culture.
Goblins have a nasty bite. They do not do much damage with the initial bite as their jaws are rather weak but the festering bacteria in their mouths from their unsanitary living practices and eating habits can leave a festering wound that can easily kill anyone if left untreated.
