Features:
Physiognomy: Although the typical image of a goblin is of a green short stack with pointed ears, the truth is that there are many variations. Goblins can have different skin colours (yellow, grey, black, red...), they can be slender, sculpted, thin, not to mention hair, noses, eyes and ears, even goblins with antlers or horns. This chaos of appearances goes back to the very beginnings of the race
Physical attributes: Goblin girls are short and physically weaker than untrained humans. Their bodies are, however, quite agile and dextrous.
Darkvision: Goblins can see very well in low light.
Intelligence: Goblins are naturally good learners. Goblins, both good and evil, studied the trades and requirements of their masters in order to better serve them and kept this knowledge. Their intelligence is quite creative when it comes to applying acquired knowledge. However, those familiar with them warn that their intelligence runs much faster than their common sense and that the main job of a teacher of goblins is to nurture their wisdom so that their intelligence doesn't come up with something that blows them and those around them up.
Magic: Goblins' magical abilities don't develop automatically and require study. In general, however, the race has a good aptitude for magic from the faerie schools, especially fairy illusions, which reinforces theories about their origin.
Home protection: Goblins have an enormous sense of care and affection for what they consider their home. So much so that their intellectual, physical and magical abilities are enhanced in relation to any tasks they do in relation to their home. This makes them excellent housekeepers. This characteristic, inherited from the ancient goblin protectors of homes, is however little known, even some goblins are not aware of it. Historians believe that this is due to the age of evil when the vast majority of goblins were just pests. Goblin girls, on the other hand, ironically don't take advantage of this, as they believe that any woman is at least a good housewife.
Stealth: Goblins are masters of the art of stealth and hiding, both by mundane and magical means. This skill has been developed since ancient times: to hide from the strong, to steal better or to avoid offending their masters with their appearance. Today, although beautiful, goblins occasionally step on the toes of someone dangerous and discretion helps.
Sensitive feet: A particular weakness of theirs that is very little known is the sensitivity of their feet. Trauma to this part of their body causes them much more pain and discomfort than other beings of the same size; a hard stomp can leave a goblin incapacitated with pain.
This characteristic is the cause of certain rules of etiquette and politeness in the race. Stepping on a goblin's foot on purpose is both a serious threat and a tremendous insult to them. Stomping is a declaration of mortal enmity.
Goblin girls avoid going barefoot as much as possible; their savage tribes always give preference to footwear before dressing the rest of the body. Although they don't look it, on the rare occasions when they don't have shoes, they walk very carefully, feeling where they're stepping before setting foot.
Like many women, monsters or not, goblin girls like pretty shoes, but never at the expense of comfort. Goblins remember well the story of a hero who defeated an entire tribe of goblins by stepping on their feet except for the queen who wore stone boots. Magical shoes that offer comfort, beauty and protection are expensive items in their society. No wonder good goblin shoemakers tend to be very wealthy.
