Homebrew City Goblin Species Details

 

"Goblins are short, ugly humanoids that stand just over 3 feet tall. Their scrawny bodies are topped with over-sized and usually hairless heads with massive ears and beady red or occasionally yellow eyes. Goblins’ skin tone varies based on the surrounding environment; common skin tones include green, gray, and blue, though black and even pale white goblins have been sighted. Their voracious appetites are served well by their huge mouths filled with jagged teeth."

A constant hum of busy activity pervades the warrens and neighborhoods where goblins form their close-knit communities. Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding bones here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. Goblins take delight in life, enjoying every moment of invention, exploration, investigation, creation, and play.

City goblins are more attuned to humanoid life as these goblins were born and raised in the cities and not as much as in the warrens beneath and have adapted as such, these goblins look more human then other goblins, there faces are more human but they still retain there skin, teeth, eyes, and ears from being a goblin. They also have the same maturity and lifespan of humans and are taller as such.

your dark vision is greatly diminsihed but you have gained a knack for talking to other humanoids and have bonus charisma
