Goblin Warrior

Broad-shouldered for their kind and scarred from countless skirmishes, goblin warriors form the brutal backbone of goblin raiding bands. Their skin is a darker, bruised shade of green — almost leathery from exposure to smoke and grime. Jagged teeth and yellow eyes gleam beneath crude iron helms, and their armor is a chaotic patchwork of hide, rough chainmail, and studded leather, bound together with wire, sinew, and stubborn survival.

Where scouts are sly and elusive, goblin warriors are loud and vicious. They fight in snarling packs, banging their shields with cudgels and blades to intimidate their foes before charging. Despite their crude appearance, their combat instincts are sharp — they strike fast, swarm enemies, and retreat only when bloodied or outnumbered. Many wear trophies of their kills: a torn banner, a fang necklace, or a scrap of armor too big for them, taken from fallen foes.

Their smell is unmistakable — smoke, sweat, and iron — and their guttural war cries echo deep through the forest, heralding ambushes that come with terrifying speed.
