Small and numerous, the Goblins have been a nuisance since I can remember, though in modern times, other creatures are coming to appreciate the small troublemakers as much as I do....

Another of the intelligent races of Nirth, the Goblins are a very common and widespread race of creatures, with the most common ones depicted here being the inhabitants of the lower continent of Glaucuvane, which is south of Krazai. The goblins of this region are known as the Krimtan.

Krimtan Goblins are small green humanoid creatures with portly, chubby bodies, and incredibly long pointed ears. They stand at roughly 3 feet tall, and have large, sharp teeth and claws with which to catch and consume their prey for their mostly meat based diet. They are also in possession of a very large rat like tail which can be used to aid in balance, or to hold on to things in the same way that an Opossum can hang from a tree with it’s tail. Though Goblins tend to run the Gamut on various shades of green, males tend to be of darker colors and females of lighter tones, though both sexes have the large pink rat like tails.

There exists sexual dimorphism in Goblins, in that the males tend to have more beady eyes and longer heads with wider and longer teeth, and more often than not possess little to no hair (Though many have grown hair near the back of their oblong heads. Their chins are angular, and their noses are very large and aqualine. In addition their arms are as long as the entire length of their bodies, and it allows them to reach things easier, and to maneuver swiftly by moving similarly to an ape on it’s feet and kuckles.

Female goblins, while being usually smaller than the males, also possess much smaller noses, and much more “Lop” ears compared to the extremely pointed ears of their male counterparts. Their ears are 50% larger and tend to be much more malleable and soft, and can be moved to fan the goblin off whenever she is too hot, something often used by goblin mothers to cool their children. Some goblins have even been bred for their ears, with noble goblin families marrying in to families to have daughters with even larger ears, even claiming that some female goblins can glide through the air with their ears due to their immense size. In addition to this, female goblins tend to be much more plump and soft, with their extra layer of padding protecting them from the various attacks they may suffer from. Though their arms aren’t as long, the females have larger claws, allowing them to dig small burrows if needed, and to strike down their enemies with great ferocity. This in tandem with their wide mouths and small serrated teeth, they can easily take down foes twice as large as them with the element of surprise.

There are other goblin races that live in different environments. Those that live in Northern Krazai are known as Kaliachian Goblins. They have much smaller ears and blue skin, with much thicker, blubber filled bodies and they wear much thicker, heavier clothing such as animal pelts. There also exist cave dwelling Goblins called Chigan, which are pale white in color, their ears are even larger, and they have lost their eyesight due to their lives in the dark. Zalkey Goblins are aquatic and come in various colors, matching the coral reefs and colorful tropical fish that are found in the same region, and their ears are used as massive gliding fins. The last type of Goblins, known as the Otan, are forgotten to history. It is believed that some event took place within their religion in which the gods not only exiled them from their lands, but from everyone’s memories and cast that variant of goblins into obscurity.

This eldritch god that cursed the Otan goblins is a creature known as U’brei-whs (You-Bree-Wuz) in the Goblin language, but is often times spelled as Eubriwas among the other species. This alien creature seems to be the patron deity of the Goblinkind, and they worship it through sacrifices of blood and flesh. They paint their bodies with various symbols, representing the strange scintillating patterns that dance across U’brei-whs flesh, and they wear strange, angular symbols that represent the odd twisted shape of their hidden god.

The Priestesses, known as the oracles of U’brei-whs, will sacrifice bits of their body for divine insight, and the most devout will claw out their own eyes so their eyes may be replaced with the divine spark. This allows them to see the unseen, and to gain a hideous insight on the nature of the gods, of the cosmos, and to learn dark secrets and magics that are normally barred from other living things. This causes them to go mad, but also makes them the most powerful and dangerous goblins on Nirth.
