You died. Or almost died. Or something happened — you don't remember.

You only remember that you were human.

Now you open your eyes in the dark, and the dark smells of wet stone and blood, and you are very small, and very hungry, and small bodies are squirming all around you — and you understand that this is a beginning. A very different beginning.

--- GOBLIN REBORN is a dark first-person RPG survival experience. You are reborn as a newborn goblin in a cave tribe and walk the path from helpless hatchling to... whatever you manage to become. The world will not do you any favors.

🧬 GOBLIN BIOLOGY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Growth & Development

Goblins mature fast. Every day is a new stage.

Day 1 — Newborn. Can only crawl. Needs milk to survive.

Day 2 — Learns to walk.

Day 3 — Teeth and claws emerge. Can fight, wound others, eat solid food.

Day 4 — Basic speech develops. Primitive, but functional.

Day 10 — Leaves the nest. Joins tribe life. Can forage.

Day 20 — Still smaller than adults, but dangerous in a group.

Day 30 — Fully grown adult goblin.

Appearance & Size

A fully grown goblin stands roughly 3.5 to 4 feet tall. Lean and wiry, with disproportionately large hands and ears. Skin is tough, nearly hairless. Teeth are small and sharp. Claws are short but hard.

Colors & Subtypes

Skin color determines natural inclinations:

🟢 Green — most common. Fast, agile, built for running and raiding.

⚫ Grey — tougher and stronger than average. Natural warriors.

🟤 Brown — high endurance. Handles pain and hunger better than others.

🔵 Blue / 🔴 Red / ⚪ White — rare. Capable of magic. Feared or revered in the tribe.

O Black — very rare. Grows to 5–6 feet tall. Significantly stronger than a common goblin. A born dominant.

Reproduction

Female goblins are born rarely — roughly one per three males. They die more often in childhood and are considered valuable within the tribe. A goblin female gives birth to 1–2 pups at a time.

Pregnancy lasts 30 days. Captive women of other races give birth to 6–10 goblin pups at once. This is why tribes raid and kidnap — humans, elves, dwarves.

Captives are the primary source of population growth. They are kept in the birthing den, usual
