[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 6031138, member: 3192"] Goblins are fantasy creatures. They could even be dark fairies or a successful crossbreed from demons ages ago. The picture looks altogether too human for them. Too thick and too Badass[sup]TM[/sup] as they stand now. They are creatures from children's nightmares, even if they are simply the small critters, they are insidious and unmistakably monsters in form, features, and manner. I kinda think they look like small gargoyles, but without the wings or so many horns. There's almost a devilish feature to them. Perhaps they are a bit of a mongrel species? Some are hairier, some have tails, some long, pointed noses like the old school troll, pointy chins, gangly appendages, rough hair, warty skin, and so on. Getting the goblin right really should cement the foundation for getting the rest of this category shaped up too. Hobgoblins are human/goblin halfbreeds and from the goblin begun with it's not a bad likeness. They are not heroes though. Not so upright. Not so well groomed or courageous looking. They are soldiers, but they are goblinoids too. LOTR film goblins would make good D&D hobgoblins. The bugbear is an interesting take. I could almost see this guy as a particular, but wouldn't care for him to be the iconic bugbear (y'know, the American kid who wears blue jeans, red t-shirts, and white sneakers). He also looks like he enjoys competing in mustache competitions. EDIT: :) [sblock][IMG]http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/00GRE.bmp[/IMG][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
