The Bastard

NPC / goblin mutant The Goblin Grinder

Nagel's experimental goblin overlord

Using the Goblin Grinder and his own alchemical knowledge, Nagel Krat tried to create a "leader" goblin to direct the others — creating The Bastard. The corpse Nagel used was a torturer for a group of unsavory royals, so he eased right into upper management. He's aware enough to speak, mostly used to throw crude insults.

Stat block: HP 10, Morale 6, Mutant hide −d4, Knife d4. Goblin overlord. Allied goblins fighting with The Bastard are DR16 defence (including himself) and cannot be shaken (Morale is −) unless he's killed.

Relishes in chaos and cruelty.

Gaps / Expansion Notes

The unsavory royals whose torturer became this corpse-and-mutant are unnamed. Whether the Bastard remembers his prior life is open. If killed, whether the goblin infestation collapses or another emerges from the Grinder is GM-decision.
