Orc
A Large sort of Goblinoid,
Very Aggresive.
The Goblin Queen
(Featured in the Top
Right
of the following image)
Pictured here with The
Owl Eater (Glim Glob),
and a dragon that gaurds
the goblin vaults.
The Goblin Queen is
more outwardly
attractive than most
Goblins, but
here intentions are
composed entirely
of ugly malicious guck.
Redcap Goblins
Gore lovin' goblins
who continually redye their caps in human blood to keep up the scarlet color.
Hob Goblins
While Glimmer
Goblins summon a spark of hope for the morals of Goblin kind, Hobs immerse
in the Gloom of all.
Another type
of Goblinoid I am less than fond of, These are the roots of disgust and blooming
fruit of nausea.
How they love
a tasty Child, or a marinated toddler.
Filth, all
of them.
(A Hob Goblin
named The Owl)
This Hob is especially
Evil, Swooping down from the night sky to snatch wee children from their good
dreams and drag them into a stark nightmare.The owl did not always have wings
either, over years of feeding he has taken childrens remains and build them
into himself further enabling his horrific hunting.
Drimil Concept Work
(Goblins Surrounding
me)
Yes I posed for that
picture, Those unusual Goblins happened to be Friendly, unfortunately not
many are.
Goblins are beasts of
the underground, scurges of the alleyways and most annoyingly... giddy tricksters.
These mayhem happy little
monsters are always up for a good prank, even simple stunts like, poo in the
shoes, or spit in your soup, will get them rolling on the ground with the
giggle fits.
How I loathe Goblins....arrrrrr...
...In any case they
are best avoided.
Goblins come in many
shapes an sizes, from the size of a pebble to the girth of a pregnant cow,
however; most of them are about the size of a sheep.
Their range in size
is nothing compaired to the range of features their creation endows them with.
Many have numberous limbs, some have wings, and others still are completely
covered in fur!
The variety truly astonishes
me.
There is one type of
goblin though, that actually looks almost identical from one to the next...
we might as well start there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Common
Goblin
(Example of
a Common Goblin)
Every city
I have ever been in has them, usually clogging up street commerce with their
redundant begging.
Common goblins
(also called Imp Goblins depending on the region) mob together in orderless
groups, to protect each other as they cause trouble.
Their combined
forces are still rather inept as they lack any sort of leadership, usually
they can be outwitted easily.
They are not
an intellegent sort, actually they are probably the most dimwitted class of
Goblins.
They stand
about waist high and are notorious thieves, or more truthfully, notorious
bunglers of thievery.
Their height
puts them in the perfect place to snatch a wallet but their feeble minds get
in the way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kobolds
(Kobolds of the Soil)
Kobold Goblins Favor
a Good Trick more than any other Goblinoid.
They crowd into their
dwellings so tight that sometimes two Kobolds who enter an abode leave as
one.
This sort of Goblin
is an extremely versitile creature, They can literally live anywhere.
(This batch of Kobolds
Lives in the ice of the Frozen North)
A favorite gag of these
fellows is following lone girls and children through the darkness and going
bump in the night. They have been known to attack, and I would not advise
turning to face them unarmed.
Many of there number
have sharp teeth and long claws. They will fight especially if backed into
a corner, and often their curious nature leaves them in that situation.
The First encounter
I ever had with Goblins was with kobolds, and I can tell you from experience
that they are indeed scrapy crafty little monsters.
My meet and greet and
flee before they eat, happened to be with a patch of forest dwellers.
(example of Forest Kobolds)
I, of course, would
have faught back but I was a rather clumsy young half Elf (the clumsiness
owing to my fathers mortal blood in my veins) at the time and was lucky enough
to half my brother with me at the time. It was inspiring how he tore through
their ranks....
full blown Elves are
amazingly adapt at battle considering their peaceful nature.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bog Goblin
(Mire, a Goblin
lieutenant)
The forest Kobolds probably
would not have attacked us had they not been spurred forward by one of these
guys.
Bog Goblins are vicious,
They hail from the swamp lands of the south, and are used to having to struggle
for life.
Collectors, always adding
trinketts from fallen foes to their charms.
Bog Goblins are loners
or leaders of weeker creatures, rarely are they found together, yet it is
not unheard of.
They stand at about
shoulder height and are unnaturally Agile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Glimmer Goblins
(Drimil the Glimmer
Goblin)
I've only ever known
two Glimmer Goblins, as the are as uncommon as a two horned bimble bok, but
those I did meet were well worth the trouble of finding them. Glimmer Goblins,
or Glim Globs as they are more often called, are the only sincerely benevolent
Goblinoids.
One Fellow I know is
named Drimil, and his lifes story is not an easy one to hear, Other goblins
despise Glim Globs, and having been raised by Bog Goblins led to Drimil having
more than his fair share of scars. Inspite of his rough upbringing he was
a decent person with a fairly positive outlook on life. I found his optimism
refreshing, a case of light emerging from darkness.
Glimmer globs can be
roughly equated to an albino of a species. They can be created in any class
of Goblinoids, but don't often make it to adulthood due to their poor treatment.
