Mountain Goblins

Mountain Goblins are one of the more common breeds. Having found themselves a home in caves or mountains, the goblins begin to absorb the nutrients in the ground around them, their flesh darkens and becomes brown and they develope stone-like plates and growths on their bodies, mainly the shoulders, back and temples. Denser and heavier than their green cousins, Mountain Goblins often settle arguments between themselves with contests of strength. The leader of a Mountain Goblin tribe is often the strongest one, using brute force to keep others in line.

Another common species of goblin is the Aquatic Goblin. Commonly found in swamps and underwater caves, these goblins have evolved gills and webbed appendages for swimming quickly. Also, their skin tone has faded to a blue-green, the exact shade differing, depending on their home.

Goblins often have explored into new areas, finding a new home after being forced from a previous one, by predator or famine.

Urban Goblins

Not all goblins are wild and tribal. Many goblins find their homes in cities built by other races. Urban goblins are the most varied species of goblin. Goblins of this breed tend to vary differently, depending on the society in which they've grown. Goblins in an elven city will have a more refined manner, and lither bodies. Whereas goblins in a Dwarven city will be stouter, and often just as rowdy as their hosts. Urban goblins often grow to be larger than their wild cousins, seemingly to fit into a larger society.

Ironskin Goblins

When wild goblins find their home in an iron mine, their skin takes a greyed, metalic sheen, and grows thicker and tougher, laced with the minerals in their environment. Their heftier bodies allow them to gain sturdier footing and disputes are often settled with a wrestling match, to see who could remain standing.

Aurelian Goblins

One of the rarer varieties of goblin I've studied, these goblins find their homes in gold mines, and caves with large gold deposits. Similar to the Ironskin goblins, Goldbone goblins absorb ambient minerals into their body, but in this case, they seem to secrete gold from their skin. Daily, chunks of gold can be picked from their bodies. Due to the abundance in their society, they find little value in gold, but have developed an economy of their own based on gem stones, which they carve into coins and jewelry.
