The most common cause of death related to Goblinization was shock from the pain.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There are no "goblins" involved. "Goblinization" was a media term turned mainstream description for orks and trolls. The species known as "goblins" in the Sixth World are unrelated to orks or trolls but are the HMHVV-infected dwarves (HMHVV is the virus that causes vampirism).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ork is spelled with a K, regardless of what Tolkien or my spellcheck tries to say.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Elves and dwarves also exist in the Shadowrun world, but they came about from an entirely different process called UGE (Unexplained Genetic Expression) and generally only affected newborns born in 2011 or later.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ork and troll skin tones are the same as "normal" humans. There's no green or grey or other "unnatural" skin coloration in those who goblinize. </li> </ul></blockquote><p></p>
