Characteristics

Grim goblins dressed in blue ride the backs of six legged skull beasts, slashing at foes with fiendishly sharp swords at lightening fast speeds. The steeds themselves possess a hellish visage, helping to strike fead into foes with their endlessly gnashing and grinding teeth surrounded by desert-bleached bones. So speedy they can attack twice in a turn, they use the fiery flame slash to sizzle up foes and cause extra panic, leaving them open to sweep adventures right off their feet.
