(From Left to Right: Tuscali Goblin, Carrion Goblin, Pig Goblin, Wolf Goblin, Gorn Goblin, Biter, Hunter, Tusked Goblin, Mali Goblin, Kumai Goblin, Thief Goblin, Arctica Goblins, Nightmare Goblin, Common Goblin)

Goblins: Goblins are a species of humanoid that had evolved over an unknown period of time. After looking through ancient texts, modern scientists had discovered that creatures such as this were believed to have existed many millenias ago. The resemblance was uncanny (Common Goblin) and as such, they earned the name of their mythical forefathers.

In most aspects, Goblins haven't changed. Most are vulgar, twisted, thieves and smell terrible, but there are some who believe in a more civilised lifestyle. Most Goblins are at a human level intelligence, while others are more bestial. There are many types of Goblin, varying in behaviour and appearence.

Tuscali Goblins:
- Tuscali Goblins, often referred to as "Skull Masks" or "Boneheads", are a species of Goblin located in the Tuscali region of Europa.
- These Goblins are often seen mingling with the locals. Unfortunately, their sub-par intelligence prevents them from having intellectual conversations. They have a slightly deeper voice than most Goblins, but higher pitched than most Humans
- Tuscali Goblins wear masks made from bone to cover their face. It is believed this is an ancient tradition, but most Wilders just assume it is because the Goblins are so ugly, they are ashamed to show themselves.
- They are carnivores. But rarely attack other humanoids, preferring small animals that put up less of a fight.
- Reach up to 4 feet in height and can weigh up to 70 lbs.
- There are many Tuscali Goblin villages located throughout the region.

- Carrion Goblins are located in various parts of the world
- Carrion Goblins are more animalistic and cannot speak. The calls sound like someone gargling spit
- Since Carrion Goblins can't chew, due to their odd, circular mouth, they store their food inside specialized pockets inside their stomach where it slowly digests. The gases from this process emanate out from the Goblin giving off a rancid smell.
- Their hearing is poor since they don't need to hear to find prey, and most predators avoid them due to their smell. Their sense of smell, however is excellent.
- Their scent often attracts Carrion Birds, this usually results in a battle for food.
- Carrion Goblins can reach a height of 3 feet and can weigh up to 100 lbs

That took a little while, phew. But it was pretty fun. It's hard to give everything a role in this world, but I think I did a pretty good job of getting the Goblins to fit in, and to make each one distinct.

NOTES: Wanted to make each one distinct even in their color, though I did keep some similar to show they are part of the same species. The coloring is fairly basic, though that usually happens with smaller drawings.
