Goblin
Goblin
Goblins populate a large area on the continent of
Althainia, south of the city of Althainia. They stand around 4 to 5 feet tall and weigh
around 150 pounds. They have skin ranging from light brown to dark green. Goblins are
immune to poison and disease, and it is rumored that their own saliva is poisonous to
other races. Goblins are not normally very intelligent and like to speak only goblin and a
very butchered version of common that is hard for any normal person to understand. Goblins
are vicious creatures and pillagers. They are followers and very few would ever make a
good leader.

Hobgoblin
Hobgoblins are larger cousins of goblins. They are far more aggressive and
organized than their smaller relatives. Hobgoblins stand 6 1/2 feet tall.
Their hairy hides rang in coloration from dark reddish-brown to dark-gray,
with dark or red-orange skin.
Hobgoblins are a military breed: They live for war and believe strongly in
strength and martial prowess as the most desirable qualities in
individuals and leaders alike.
Hobgoblins prefer to be warriors and assassins and their clerics are fond
of both Raije and Fatale.

Bugbear
The biggest and strongest of the goblinoids, bugbears are even more
aggressive than their relatives. They live by hunting any creature weaker
than themselves.
Bugbears are large and very muscular, standing 7 feet tall. Their hides
vary in color from light yellow to yellow brown, with thick course hair of
brown to brick red. Their eyes resemble those of a savage animal, being
greenish-white with red pupils and they have wedge shaped ears. A bugbears
mouth is full of long, sharp fangs, and it's nose is much like that of a
bear, with the same fine sense of smell. This feature earned them their
name, though they are not related to bears. Their tough hides and sharp
claws also resemble those of bears, but they are far more dexterous.
Bugbears prefer to ambush opponents whenever possible. Their combat
tactics are sound if not brilliant. They are experts at moving silently,
especially for a large race. Bugbears have two goals in life, food and
treasure. They are often found commanding Goblins and Hobgoblins, whom
they bully mercilessly.
Bugbears make great Warriors and Barbarians, and their Clerics and Shaman
tend to worship Raije due to their warlike culture or Devion due to their
respect for trickery.
