Awwwwwww, there's apparently no achievement for getting so wrapped up in making super-awesome goblins that that annoying ball of light comes up and pokes at you to remind you that you should definitely have been asleep hours ago? WHAT SORT OF ACHIEVEMENT LIST IS THIS I DEMAND A REFUND!
Eep, the Coastal female's ear is supposed to start behind her jaw. Don't have time to fix it right now, so just keep that in mind :P
Hup dup
For those who care, the freaky-looking ones on the left side with the very forward-facing eyes are a central clan commonly referred to as "bugbears" for their bug-eyed expression.

Yes, and just put them wherever you please (as long as it makes some sense... don't put your farmers on top of mountains, etc)

Fair enough, I actually hadn't read about your goblins yet. Now having done that, do you think it would be okay if my character had prior knowledge of your Dragon Goblins(a least a little)? Being a beast slayer it would make sense to at least know they exist if not particulars.
Ahhhhh... well, not really. I mean, I imagined that there was some history between Slayers and common goblins (I was planning on having Dssialii be a bit racist in this regard) since goblins were once an "evil" race and still aren't really a "good" one, but the Slayers should know no more about the goblin dragons than the stories and songs that have been passed down just like in other factions. They can suspect that the goblins have an ace up their sleeve (since the Slayers would have failed in whatever war they decided to wage on common goblins), but that's as far as it makes sense since goblins are very good at cleaning up a battle.
Actually, it should turn out worse for the next generation, at least until they can eat their parents:
as I understand it, if a creature dies, the natural thing that happens is for the magic to "reenter the system". The magic becomes reincarnated in the next generation.
Now, if a race were cannibalistic and ate its dead, then there would be no magic to naturally reenter the system and become reincarnated in the next generation. They have to wait for their parents to die so that they can eat their parents so that they can inherit their magic.
Goblins still have some magic in them because they're not particularly efficient at stealing the magic of the things that they eat. So even if a goblin dragon eats a dead goblin, like 85% of that goblin's magic still gets recycled. This results in the next generation only having a little bit less magic, and is why the race has been able to survive with this system: they had time to evolve and adapt to their lower innate magic through generations instead of just getting born with no magic out of the blue (and also, no goblins are born with no magic, due to limits [of the calculus type]). This is also why goblins haven't taken over all the magic in the world: even if they eat a sorcerer, the goblin only gets like 15% of the sorcerer's magic. When that goblin dies, only 15% of that 15% ends up in the goblin dragon, with the other 85% of that 15% reincarnating back in its original race.

That would require that the race's population doesn't expand.
But, that doesn't apply to the goblins, since the goblin dragons are the ones who eat the common goblins, compacting all the race's magic into the dragons.

Rissie didn't climb anything! :D
HAHA no )K
Also why spit poison when you have an attack that creates a concussive blast that can literally stun whole battlefields?
