Cave Goblin Traits

Heightened Sense of Smell; Can detect poison in minute quantities

Enhanced Sense of Smell

As a Cave Goblin, you primarily feast on the mosses and fungi that grow underground. It's often confusing as to how some Goblin groups can be so plump, and others so thin, but it's due to the type and abundance of mushrooms growing in their cave. As you're primarily eating fungi, you need to be able to discern the difference between a poisonous mushroom and an edible mushroom. With this increased sense of smell, Cave Goblin's are able to pick up even the slightest bit of poison in a plant and avoid it.
