Fecund and adaptable, vast populations of goblins are found everywhere creatures can survive. Despite their numbers, goblins aren’t known for building great cities. Their settlements tend to be small and purpose-built to incorporate the natural environment. A region is likely to have several settlements with dozens of active alliances and rivalries between them.

Goblins are also comfortable living in large cities where they form unruly communities, often in undesirable neighborhoods. They happily work at occupations that others shy away from, such as tending middens or rat catching.

Goblins are short and tend to be slim with ropey musculature and slightly oversized heads. They have skin tones ranging widely from gray through yellow, depending on their native environment, but most tend to varying shades of green.
