You have grown up in one the Batari Goblin tribes of the jungles of Chult, and now have either been abandoned, banished, or for some reason you choose to leave from the tribe, you find yourself on a new path. Or you might come from a segment of the Batiri tribes that adheres to tradition, but you seek to bring glory to your tribe by achieving great things as a formidable adventurer.
- Skill Proficiencies: You get Survival and one the following skills: Athletics, Nature, or Stealth
- Tool Proficiencies: Choose 1 musical instrument or 1 tool that is appropriate to your background.
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A hunting trap, a small knife, a totem mask marking your loyalty to a specific Batari tribe, a set of traveler’s clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
Use the tables for the Outlander background as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying the entries when appropriate to suit your identity as a member of a Batari tribe.

You have an excellent knowledge of not only your Batari tribe’s territory, but also the terrain and natural resources of the area. You are familiar enough with jungle areas that you can find food and fresh water for yourself and up to five other people each day, provided that the land offers berries, small game, water, and so forth.
Suggested Characteristics
Even if you have left your tribe behind (at least for now), you hold to some of the traditions of your people. You will never eat another goblin due to engrained fear of punishment from Batari gods.

Posted Nov 16, 2020I made this background because I could not find one that would fit my goblin PC that is in a Jungles of Chult campaign. I know it needs more work so please add any comments or suggests for improvements. I am also still learning the tag system in DnDBeyond so might take me a while to get this finalized. I used the Sage background to get the general format then combined Outlander and Unganth Tribesman backgrounds. Since Goblins get the the racial ability to use a bonus action to stealth I wanted to give that skill as one of the options.
Hope people find this background useful.
