“	“These monsters have plagued the land since ancient times. They each play different roles, and their weaponry varies. They prefer to act in groups. None of them are intelligent by any definition of the word.”

     Hunched over humanoids with ugly faces and dull minds, bokoblins are considered by others to be lowest of the low. Just like all blins, they are inherently cruel, seeking to harm all that doesn't aid them for the mere fun of doing so. They lack strength or skill in practically any area, and barely eek out an existence by living off the scraps of others—or what they've managed to beat out of those they manage to outnumber. They seem to treasure the bones of creatures they've killed, using them as status symbols to prove their superiority over other bokoblins.
     Persevering. The only credit reluctantly given to bokoblins is their tenacity. Their subrace has managed to survive mostly unchanged since before history began, and continues to populate the wilderness in high numbers. Unique among humanoids, they reproduce rapidly and in large litter-like batches, which aids the race in their continued existence. They are believed to be the most numerous of blins by far.
     Color Hierarchy. Common bokoblins are usually of red, orange, or brown skin, but other coloration are possible. Those of uncommon green or blue skin tones are of higher status among blins, and often make it as a tough bokoblin. Silver and especially golden bokoblins are treated akin to demigods—these rare varieties wield power and intelligence backed by the hint of Ganon's magic that has influenced the subrace.
