Homebrew Foblin Species Details

 

A very rare sight to behold, Foblins originate from the consummation between Goblins and Fairies long before the Goblin race was pushed from the fey wild. Soon after Maglubiyet conquered the Goblins, the Fairies began to shun the Foblin from the fey wild because they feared Maglubiyet would soon seek to conquer them as well and couldn't be bothered being caught in the crossfire. Unfortunately, this led to a lot of cases of Foblin children being eaten by their goblin parent because they were mistaken for a healthy snack who just fluttered in looking for a place to stay. This caused the Foblin to become nomadic for a time, looking for a place far away from both halves of themselves while also looking for others just like them.

While traveling around the material plane, Foblins can be found living under toadstools, inside tavern walls, and in some instances can be seen forming a symbiotic relationship with larger beings like that of the mutualism between a bird and an alligator.

While Foblin can generally be found ensuring their local forest and its inhabitants are protected, they also tend to love drinking, gambling, and all things shiny (they are never too far from a stash of coin and always hold others to their debts).

Balancing two halves of a different whole can be a tedious task. That's why the Foblin tend to lean heavier on their goblin side because one thing is certain, Foblins love to spread mischief and chaos in all its different forms.
