Homebrew GOON BALLOON Species Details

 

— Some body

A constant hum of butt talking  pervades the warrens and caves  where GOON BALLOON's form their close-knit communities. Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding bones  here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of pain  or triumph, and especially bursts of flatulence . GOON BALLOON's take delight in suffering , enjoying every moment of pain , exploration, investigation, creation, and play.

Unknowable Expression

A GOON BALLOON's anger and hate  for other creatures  shines through every inch of his or her tiny body. GOON BALLOON's average slightly over 3 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Their bulbous  and eye filled faces are usually adorned with glares , and their bright eyes shine with excitement. Their large eye's  have  a tendency to look out in every direction, as if expressing the GOON BALLOON's  insatiable curiosity in everything around.

A GOON BALLOON's personality is writ large in his or her manner of speaking . A male gnome’s beard, in contrast to his wild hair, is kept carefully trimmed but often styled into curious forks or neat points. A gnome’s clothing, though usually made in modest earth tones, is elaborately decorated with embroidery, embossing, or gleaming jewels.

Steadfast Dedication

As far as GOON BALLOON's  are concerned, being alive is a wonderful thing, and they squeeze every ounce of life  out of their 5  to 10 centuries of life. Humans might wonder about getting bored over the course of such a long life, and elves take plenty of time to savor the beauties of the world in their long years, but GOON BALLOON's  seem to worry that even with all that time, they can’t get in enough of the things they want to do and see.

GOON BALLOON's speak as if they can’t get the thoughts out of their butts  fast enough. Even as they offer ideas and opinions on a range of subjects, they still manage to listen carefully to others, adding the appropriate exclamations of surprise and appreciation along the way.

Though GOON BALLOON's love jokes of all kinds, particularly puns and pranks, they’re just as dedicated to the more serious tasks they undertake. Many gnomes are skilled engineers, alchemists, tinkers, and inventors. They’re willing to make mistakes and laugh at themselves in the process of perfecting what they do, taking bold (sometimes foolhardy) risks and dreaming large.
