Moon-Goblins

Moon-Goblins are a distinct sub-species of the goblin race, who are most infamous for dwelling within underground tunnel networks in the Whispy Woods.

Moon-Goblins are truly a creature of the darkness, for they mortally hate the light of any source, preferring instead to live in near total darkness. A subterranean species, Moon-Goblins are only known to ever leave their lightless hideouts only in the most darkest of nights, where even the moonlight can have the potential to hurt their very sensitive skin. On the most rarest occasions when they do come out during the day, they must wear extremely dark or even black clothing that helps to hide their skin from the sun.

It seems that evolution has affected these goblins both good and badly. They have become so accustomed to the darkness of their chosen homes that they developed extremely good night-vision, but as generations of Moon-Goblins began their life in total darkness, their skin eventually lost the ability to tolerate sunlight. This disadvantage does little to bother the Moon-Goblins, for they have become a truly powerful faction that has claimed many of the underground tunnels in the Whispy Woods.

Though they are considered slightly smaller, scrawnier and much more cowardly then even the average Goblin, what they lack in size and stature they make up for with sheer reckless abandonment. Should the moon emerge to light the way, it would reveal a nightmare; a teeming mass of Moon-Goblins swarming out of their hideouts and fall upon the hated surface-dwellers. Equipped with a variety of weapons such as nets, crude spears, and composite bows, these Night Goblins are ferocious night and tunnel-fighters.
