Goblin

Goblins are a species of Others that typically dwell on the outskirts of cities, they are vicious bastards that enjoy the pain and misery of others, often attacking those who fall through the cracks or homeless. They are violent and have names that are inappropriate and crass, making them frustrating to work with. Those who utilize them exclusively are Goblin Queens or Goblin Kings.

Goblins typically don't get along with Faeries, whom they call the unfair folk, and it has been revealed that some time in the past they were actually enslaved and bound by them, during an era when the courts were changing over. As a result it mixed up relationship between the two and many powerful goblins agreed to take up certain forms, as part of treaties.

Types

Goblins come in many shapes and sizes, male and female, but generally speaking they are all ugly and stink. They are weak to elementally-infused metal, which makes cities hard for them to thrive in because metal pipes beneath the ground carry a charge. Smarter ones manage to get around this however.

Goblins themselves have two different theories on their creation. The first being that they were made from cast-off bits of humans, such as nails, hair, skin, all cobbled together. The other is that the fae, were once human and everything they cast-off became goblins.

Gremlins, a subspecies of goblin, are tinkerers and trap-makers who take technology and tools and use them to kill their prey.

Uses

Goblins are basically attack dogs, rabid in nature and used for destructive purposes rather than anything else because they are so difficult to control. Some have abilities that make them more useful, others have knowledge, and parts of their bodies can be harvest and used, such as a Goblin Ear.
