I think you are missing a point in your point buy. I count 26 total.

It seems I had! I added one point to Intelligence, so at least he's slightly less dumb

A Most Dangerous Game (2014 5e D&D)

Name: Barghest Feral-Hide
Age: 54
Race: Goblin
Class: Blood Hunter (Order of the Lycan) / Barbarian
Background: Outlander

Appearance:

Barghest is a terrifying fusion of goblin cunning and feral savagery. His skin is a pale, mottled green-gray, stretched over a wiry but muscular frame that radiates predatory strength. His crimson eyes burn with an unnatural intensity, and his jagged maw of fangs leaves little doubt of the beast lurking within him. Tufts of coarse, wolfish fur sprout from his shoulders and back, further blurring the line between goblin and monster. He adorns himself with crude chains and bone trinkets, not as restraints but as trophies — reminders of both his torment and triumph.

Clad only in a tattered red loincloth and savage ornaments, Barghest carries himself with the dominance of a predator that fears nothing. His posture is always forward-leaning, ready to spring, and his clawed hands twitch with restless hunger. To see him is to witness something that should not exist: a goblin elevated, twisted, and perfected by forbidden bloodcraft into a chieftain-beast who is both feared and revered.

Backstory:

Barghest was once nothing more than a hunter of his goblin tribe, eking out survival through cunning and ambush. That life ended when he was captured by a fledgling sect of Blood Hunters, pioneers of the Order of the Lycan. Still struggling to tame the curse of lycanthropy for themselves, they turned instead to subjects they deemed expendable: the unwanted, the weak, and the reviled. Barghest was one such unfortunate soul, chosen to endure their wicked experiments.

But the Blood Hunters found unexpected success. Barghest not only survived the ordeal but became the first to master the curse without losing himself to madness. He retained his goblin instincts and intellect while embodying the monstrous ferocity of the beast within. Even more, he wielded Hemocraft — the forbidden magic of blood — seamlessly while in his hybrid form. He was, by every measure, the first true success of the Order of the Lycan.

When the experiments were complete, Barghest was released, the Blood Hunters believing their work had proven its point. But Barghest returned to his tribe a changed creature, more than goblin, more than beast. Within weeks, he challenged his chieftain in brutal combat, tearing him apart beneath the blood moon. With dominance established, Barghest crowned himself the new leader of the Beast-Hides. Under his rule, the tribe was transformed, as his curse seeped into his kin. Soon, the world would whisper of a terrifying new breed — natural-born were-goblins, children of the first beast-chieftain, Barghest Feral-Hide.

I'll post now and will think of an NPC when I get home

The creepy gardener

Skjsel Darkpetal

Rarity★★★ | Corrupt Spriggan | Level 1

Appearance:
Skjsel manifests as a gaunt, shadowy figure, their form obscured by a tattered cloak of dark leaves or coarse fur that blends with the dim forest. A weathered, mask-like face is suggested beneath a set of large, twisting dark antlers that sprout from their head. Piercing, malevolent green light emanates from empty eye sockets and a wide, unsettling grin filled with sharp teeth. Faint green motes of light drift around their body, adding to their spectral presence in the gloom of their garden.

Personality:
Skjsel's personality reflects their dual nature as a nurturing gardener and a necromantic horror. They are meticulous and patient when tending to their garden, showing a twisted sense of pride in the beauty of their corrupt flora. However, this nurturing nature is reserved for the dungeon's inhabitants and their macabre creations. To outsiders, Skjsel is a silent, unnerving presence, their every movement deliberate and chilling. They take a perverse delight in the art of amalgamation, treating the corpses of adventurers and animals as mere clay for their creations.

Abilities:

~ Corrupted Gardener: Skjsel can manipulate the dungeon's flora, growing a variety of mutated fruits and vegetables to sustain the dungeon's inhabitants. The garden itself is a terrifying landscape of beautiful yet deadly plants, designed to ensnare and weaken intruders. While Skjsel is in their garden, they receive a slight bonus to attack and regeneration, both scaled with their level of att = +1 per 3/4 lvl, Regen = 1hp/round +1 every five levels. Regen is unlocked at level 5.

~ Flesh Amalgamation: Skjsel's most disturbing ability is the power to merge the corpses of slain beings with their plant life. They can bind the spirits of the deceased to these creations, giving them a semblance of life and turning them into loyal undead guardians of the garden. Skjsel can grow 1 Amalgamation per five levels. These act as minor minions.

Examples of Undead Amalgamations

~ Vine Whip: Skjsel can summon thorny vines from the ground or their own body to ensnare and attack foes. These vines are infused with a potent corruption that can poison or paralyze anyone they touch. Skjsel can grow 1 vine per 2 levels and has a 5*lvl% chance to inflict poison or paralyze

~ Toxic Spores: When threatened, Skjsel can release a cloud of toxic spores. These spores are highly disorienting and can cause temporary blindness, confusion, or a painful rot that spreads across the skin. The cloud can spread 5 cubic feet around them + another 5 every 10 lvls

~ Chlorokinetic Defense: The plants in Skjsel's garden are extensions of their will. They can cause roots to rise from the ground, plants to lash out, and flowers to emit noxious fumes, creating a defensive barrier around them and their precious creations. Instead of a Flesh Amalgamation, Skjsel can grow 1 Corrupt Creeper plant. This uses one of his minion slots and act as minor minions.
