Goblin

Goblins are small greedy and chaotic creatures. They are often considered like vermin, to be exterminated if possible, but in contrast to the rats, they fight back when you try to exterminate them.

Goblins are usually really thin and skittish. Their face is elongated and decorated by a thin and long nose. On the side of their heads they have two long pointed ears.

Childhood 1 to 3 years
Goblins do not understand the concept of family. Once a goblin is born it is cared for by the whole tribe and brought up equally to the other children. But goblins, always try to get more than the other children, by any means.

Adulthood 4 - 30 years
Goblins don't have any defined rules or age for when they become an adult. It is usually when they have intercourse for the first time, around 5 to 6 years old. The adult goblins will hunt, raid and feast together to build their own wealth and the wealth of their tribe.

Old Age 31+ years
Old Goblins are extremely rare, due to the fact that they have many conflicts between each other, between tribes and with other species. Once they are old, they try to stay away from the fighting and sometimes even isolate themselves from their tribe.

Habitat and Population
Goblin try to live where there are a lot of places to hide. Most goblin tribes are nomad but some of them will settle if they find a nice place where they can live, hide, find a lot of food and riches. One great example is abandoned fortresses.

Diet
Goblins will eat basically anything and seem to have not much preferences when it comes to food. They will try to avoid rotting food but will not shy away from it if its the only food source available.

Culture and Society
Goblins are polygamous, female Goblins have little to no influence in the tribe and males will take any female at anytime they like, without anyone saying anything. It is not a rare sight to see the equivalent of orgies in goblin tribes, where every male of the tribe takes every female of the tribe one by one.

Goblins fear death like nothing else and will run from any reasonable treat to their lives. Once a Goblin dies, most of the tribes simply don't notice or throw away the body. In some rare occasion, they will eat the deceased.

Hobgobelin
Some Goblins tribes have developed to be bigger and more intelligent than the other Goblins. These are called Hobgoblins. Hobgoblins have the particular trait that they don't stay in a tribe as much as the other types of Goblins, being greedy they leave to become leader of other Goblin tribes.
