Hook-Nosed Goblin

The Hook-Nosed Goblin is one of the more advanced species of goblin, having developed a nose that does not show the characteristic bulbousness of a gule goblin nose or the flatness of a trapezoidal goblin species, instead being pointed and hooking downwards.

Behavior
The Hook-Nosed goblins are some of the more peaceful goblin subspecies, being the scientists of the Goblin War Council. They particularly specialize in life sciences - chemistry, biology, geology, cytology, entomology, ornithology, archaelolgy, herpetology, acarology, aerology, aerobiology, algology, and medicine.

The typical Hook-Nosed Goblin will live in a solitary manner, usually in a tent or log cabin. They study every day, stopping only to tend to the small farm or plot near their home. Every three years they go to a convention at the goblin capitol, and present their findings. Typically, they write a book every other convention, presenting their findings then, while between those they attend the convention to watch presentations and meet with others.

The goblins will stop in the nearest town and village for supplies every month or so, buying paper, ink, gunpowder, soap, candles, rope, bullets, clothing, or nails. This is all loaded into crates that are then piled onto a wagon, and driven to the cabin.

Hook-Nosed Goblins prefer water buffalo as their mounts, due to their calmness around the goblins. The powerful beasts are the only one used when the Hook-Nosed Goblins go to war - they load all of their belongings onto one buffalo and ride another.
