Goblins have been and to an extent are now often treated poorly, often serving as laborers, chattel slaves, and worse despite their innate affinity for magical and mechanical systems. This latter affinity, too, has been the sorrow of many a goblin, as they have all too often been used as hapless experimental subjects by ambitious conjurers or tinkerers.

It can only be assumed that the Manastone Goblin was the result of such an ill-advised experiment, though no records or survivors exist to confirm it.

Appearing to be a rather large goblin of indeterminate age and gender, the Manastone Goblin has been fused with a large manastone or magick battery, which appears to have resulted in further growths not unlike veins of ore appearing above ground. This has had the effect of giving the goblin the ability to tap a nearly unlimited amount of magickal energy in the form of a variety of wild spells, directed energy blasts, and shields which can apparently be summoned at will. It can only be assumed that it used these abilities to decimate whomever or whatever created it.

High Inquisitor’s Note:
While some sources describe the Manastone Goblin as a force for unchecked destruction, it has never been observed harming another goblin, and unsubstantiated reports indicate that it has at times aided or even liberated its brethren. Despite this, however, the Manastone Goblin either will not or cannot suffer the company of its own kind for long, and will actively shun them unless they are in great need. This is in contrast to its behavior for most, which is to attack wildly at the slightest threat or provocation.
