Goblins are one of the Servant races created by Koss from the White Flame of UN.[5c]
Description[]
The most populous and prolific Servant race, goblins were created to maintain and clean the numerous canals and sewers of Throne. Once regarded as the garbage men of creation, their tight-knit clans contributed to the formation of the first guilds. Goblin gangs and guilds are given heavy respect by most in Throne due to their strong family ties.[5c]
Like other Servant races, goblins do not age past a certain point, and can live forever if not for disease or disaster. They are warm-blooded, but lay large clutches of eggs, and have three biological sexes. It is considered extremely taboo to ask a goblin what sex they are.[5c]
Goblins have a much wider variety of physical form than humans, but are comparable in strength and intelligence. Their most notable feature is their lack of eyes, compensated by their extreme sense of smell granted by their extended nasal cavity that takes up most of their face. This sense is so acute that goblins are often able to detect the emotional state of other beings through chemical changes in their sweat and tears. This makes them infamous and widely feared bargainers and merchants.[5c]
The fanlike projections of a goblin’s head are very sensitive to sound and air current. Horn length is considered and indicator of sexual prowess, but only in two of their sexes.[5c]
Goblins speak their own language[2][4] and are known to enjoy specific forms of entertainment, such as olfactory hookah bars.[5b]
Unusually large goblins are sometimes hired as guild enforcers, much like several other large monstrous Servant races like troggs or ogres.[5a]
