Punji Goblin

Introduction
For many living creatures the Dungeon can be described as a literal hell - something which may eventually be adjusted to after years or decades of Crawling, but which can never truly be considered a home. For those pallid monsters and humanoids who are already adapted specifically to dungeon-life, however, becoming trapped in Dungeon 26 is an ideal situation.

Such is the case for Punji Goblins: one of the only creatures within the Dungeon from which you can hear laughter and cries of good cheer.

Appearance
A naked Punji Goblin would look nearly identical to any other cave-dwelling goblin you may find on the surface world, however, it would be incredibly rare to ever lay eyes on a Punji Goblin while it is not dressed in its traditional costume: trap-based camouflage.

From when they are first old enough to leave their mother’s teat, Punji Goblins commit a significant amount of energy to the continued construction and improvement of a disguise which will allow them to blend perfectly into one of the thousands of different styles of deadly traps in Dungeon 26. Most commonly, Punji goblins garb themselves in dirty, bloody rags covered in long and skinny wooden stakes, each tipped with faeces to ensure that any injuries will also result in disease (this is where the term “Punji Goblin” originates). While laying perfectly still, nestled strategically between the pre-existing spikes at the bottom of a pit, these ambushes are nearly undetectable within pitfall traps.

Other popular goblin disguises include:
 * 1) Dozens of arrow shafts sticking out of their back, in order to blend in with poison dart traps
 * 2) A rock-and-rubble-covered suit of chainmail, in order to blend in with rock fall traps
 * 3) Hundreds of sticks of burning incense, in order to blend in with cloudkill traps
 * 4) Gray, sand-speckled body paint, in order to blend in with living statuary traps
 * 5) Half of a sword or axe protruding from their chest, in order to blend in with swinging weapon traps
