Physical description

Koroblin physical characteristics vary so highly that many believe that the world Koroblin is just an umbrella word for many species that have black blood and a 2nd form. Some Koroblins look so close to humans they can easily pass as such others look more like bipedal animals, and there are Koroblins all over that spectrum. There are six main types of Koroblin subspecies.

Common Social Structure

Koroblin societies tend to be matriarchal. Female Koroblins tend to be bigger and stronger than male Koroblins. Having the temperament of a “Mother Bear”. Koroblin gender as a whole seems to be a flipped version of generic western Human gender views.

Relations With other Humanoids

Koroblin society often teaches its citizens that they are better than another species. This was especially bad in early history, but over the centuries many Koroblin societies have softened this view. In more dark and violent timelines this sentiment of Koroblin superiority have led Koroblins to do unforgivable things to the world.

Common Temperament

Koroblin personalities tend to end up in two different temperaments Active or Intellectual. Active Koroblins have hard times sitting still or spending time studying wanting to take action rather than think things through. While Intellectual Koroblins tend to have such high drives to want to learn and invent, that they tend to risk their lives in the name of knowledge.

As a whole though all Koroblins have one thing in common, they do not fear death. Having a 2nd form has made Koroblins extremely willing to toe the line of life and death. Their instinct to fight, to kill, and to learn; greatly exceeds their instinct to live. This does not mean that they don’t care about when others die. Simple when it comes to a Koroblin the risk of dying in order to get their goals does not seem to be that bad of a risk.

Reasons to Adventure

Koroblins have many reasons to go out in the world. From simply wanting to learn and investigate what is out there, wanting to protect their friends or family, or just wanting a reason to fight.

Common Names

Names: Greatly depends on the Koroblin culture, but one thing all Koroblin naming conventions have is that names are not gendered. Most Koroblins, regardless of where they are from, name themselves in the Koroblin language.
