halfgoblin

A half-goblin is a fictional creature resulting from the union of a goblin and a member of another humanoid race, most commonly humans. This hybrid offspring often inherits traits from both parent species, leading to a diverse range of appearances and abilities. Physically, half-goblins can vary greatly, sometimes appearing more goblin-like with greenish skin, pointed ears, and a stocky build, while other times exhibiting features closer to their non-goblin parent. Their size and strength are typically intermediate.

Culturally, half-goblins often find themselves as outsiders in both goblin and the other parent race's societies. They may be ostracized or viewed with suspicion due to their mixed heritage. This can lead to them developing independent lifestyles, often as mercenaries, adventurers, or inhabitants of frontier territories. Their personality can also be a blend of goblin cunning and aggression with the potential for greater empathy or ambition depending on their upbringing and experiences. Some half-goblins embrace their dual nature, while others struggle with their identity. Their presence introduces a unique dynamic to fantasy settings, exploring themes of prejudice, belonging, and the nature of identity.
