Goblinoids

Goblins are creatures descended from fae that became trapped on the mortal plane millennia ago, over the ages they became corrupted into their current form. Goblins are inherently mischievous creatures and Goblin tribes compete to pull pranks on humans. Goblin pranks can be mean spirited but are never supposed to kill or seriously harm, although accidents do sometimes happen. Once every 3 years all the Goblin tribes in Iolgia celebrate the coming of Grumbo, a festival in which Goblin tribes come together to pull the best prank possible.

Goblin antics often get them in trouble, humans tend to drive away goblin tribes upon becoming tired of their pranks. Particularly unwise goblins often try to pull pranks on Hags. hags do not take this lightly and curse the goblin in question so that their offspring becomes a Bugbear.

Bugbears are essentially giant goblins and have a fierce temper. Bugbears possess the personality of a Bully, they quickly intimidate their way to the top of Goblin tribes and set their minions to work going on raids to bully locals and steal stuff to suit the Bugbear's horde. A bugbear is never satisfied, and their egotistical need to prove themselves only grows as they increase in power.

Hobgoblins are a human - goblin hybrid with unknown origins. They possess neither the prankster nature of Goblins or the unbridled rage of Bugbears and instead form a semi-professional mercenary force, working for anyone who will pay them.
