Quote:Goblins tend to run in clans. Though many goblins venture to commit to their own solitary shenanigans, almost all Goblins belong to a clan. It would be foolish not to be. As even in the underground caves that they are used to, there exists various creatures who would wish them harm as they hunt for food. Including other Goblins. A clan is like a large family, who work to better the entirety of the clan. In most cases a clan has a Chief, but they do not always have one. All Goblins born to a clan possess the surname of their clan. And all adult Goblins of a clan are parent figures to the children. Every Goblin is named in very peculiar ways. They often possess names that are reference to sounds that their parents enjoy or have some sort of memory relating to (Knock, Bark, Growler, etc) Or have names that are a combination of their birth parents favorite color and their favorite object. Or an adjective and their favorite object. (Bluespoon, Sharpknife, etc) As goblins become mature they can decide to leave their clan and join or create another. However should they do so, they abandon the clan name.

Goblins are vaguely religious. However their religion is nearly incoherent to others including themselves. They seem to worship 'The Big Cap'. And in their honor, will collect various objects of value and bury them around mushrooms. This is supposed to bring good luck. And allow whatever they bury to grant good luck to themselves and their clan. As well as produce more food for themselves and their clan. Some clans have more complicated beliefs. But the general census is that The Big Cap requires regular material sacrifice. And that The Big Caps speaks in the Mushrooms. 

Quote:Goblins are children of the Earth. While the origins are truly unknown, even to them, the Goblins are naturally attuned to the Earth Element. Their large hands, feet and ears allow them to more easily sense vibrations within the stone. It is not uncommon to see Goblins with footwear that partially exposes their feet to the ground. They feel uncomfortable with their feet entirely enclosed.

Goblins adapted to living in caverns, sewers, and other dark places. Because of this, Goblin's reflective eyes allows them to intake more light than any other known sentient creature. Even in the darkest of caves, they seem able to navigate with ease. Both due to their ability to hear the faint vibrations as well as see better than most in the dark.

The most unique adaptation Goblins have is their ability to consume stones. Yes, even crystals and metal ores are able to be consumed by Goblins. The unique semi-magical digestive system of Goblins allows them to take almost any crystalline or metallic structure and break it down, reducing it into the base nutrients that are found with them. They are also able to take the access nutrients and enhance their abilities through it. For example, a large consumption of blue mercury will allow their bodies to move quicker. Goblins can survive entirely on a diet of crystals and metals. And often harass others to steal their metallic objects to turn into food. some Goblins actually dislike consuming anything that is not stone-based.

Oddly enough, Goblins love to build things as much as they like to tear them apart. Due to their close nature to ores and crystals, they make surprisingly good crafters. Being able to expertly manipulate crystals and ores as if they were apart of their own body!
