Goblinoids

The term Goblinoids refers to a collection of sapient species that bear close resemblance to each other, and are theorized to have a common genetic ancestor. The most populous and common of these species are the Goblins who inhabit every corner Vantowyn, but also included in the genus are the Hobgoblins, Bugbears, Gremlins, and Darklings.

Goblinoids have a wide range of body types, skin colors, hair colors and eye colors. From the towering Bugbears to the nimble tree-dwelling Gremlins, the different species are quite distinct, with a few notable similarities. All goblinoids have large eyes, adapted to seeing in dim and dark conditions, as well as large ears, which in many cases, give goblins a keen sense of hearing. Goblinoids tend in general to have skin tones of pale green, tawny yellow, or muddy red-brown. Goblinoid hair is frequently thick and coarse when present, although many goblinoids find themselves unable to grow any amount of hair on their scalps.
