Characteristics

Grumpy Grublins are a red reskin of the regular Grublin with black eyes and yellow pupils. They are apart of the humanoid family. Their round heads have large pointed ears, a tiny pair of horns, and a small black nose. Their sparse equipment consists of a pair of metal pauldrons, a small metal fauld covering a kilt of rags, a chipped sword, and a buckler strapped to their arms. They have a tendency to work themselves into a rage and can perform combination attacks when they call more of their kind to aid them in battle.
