Homebrew Drow Goblin Species Details

A subterranean folk, goblins can be found in every corner of the multiverse, often beside their bugbear and hobgoblin kin. Their tribulations with fey entities and gods long forgotten, much like their deep dwelling cousins, the Drow Goblin.

Drow Goblins are an anomaly within the goblin world. A Drow Goblin, much like a Drow Elf, has been physically changed by their underground living conditions. They are more intelligent than their surface dwelling counterparts, but tend towards isolation rather than tribalism. They embrace their small nature, using it to their advantage; where their greener cousins would rather overpower with numbers, a Drow would take a more methodical approach. It is worth noting that, unlike both their Elven namesake and their Goblin cousins, a Drow Goblin is more likely to engage with an outsider, especially if gold is involved.
