About

This near-hairless humanoid is just smaller than a dwarf and has grey skin and eyes.

Of all the five clans, it was the stone goblins who chose most staunchly to stand their ground and face down the fire goblin threat.

Their prayers for strength to resist were answered by a lawful god, who granted them unshakable discipline and many defensive abilities.

In their worship of the elsewhere, seemingly unknown deity they call the Stone Heart, the stone goblins have grown fiercely traditional and closed-minded.

Stone goblins are serious, dour, uninspired, and intolerant of outsiders.

In combat they are staunch but predictable, trusting in age-old, near ritual tactical models. Their greatest strengths are a highly organized and smoothly functional command structure, as well as logistical preparations that are always flawless and extensive.

Stone goblins are the largest of the elemental goblins, nearly as tall and broad as dwarves. Their skin and eyes are always grey, with little variation even in shade. They grow no head or facial hair (other than eyebrows) and little body hair.
