Character details

 Alignment. Although gorons can alienate those outside their kin group, they form strong bonds with those they trust. They have a tendency towards lawful good.
 Age. Gorons reach adulthood in 9 to 12 years but can live to be over 100.
 Diet. Gorons subsist entirely by consuming rare rocks and precious gems; most common stones aren't nutritious to them. Each day you must consume at least 10 rupees worth of gemstones (or rupees themselves) to avoid exhaustion, but you require no water.
 Names. Although gorons only have one gender, all goron names are all considered male. These names usually include a "go" or "da" syllable. Deep vowel sounds such as "ah," "oh," and "oo" are prominent. "R" consonants are also very common, especially in the center of the name. Examples include Biggoron, Darbus, Daruk, Darmani, Darunia, Gongoron, Gorko, Gortram, Kabetta, Kagoron, Lyndae, Medigoron, Reagah, Rohan, Strade, Tanko, Volcon, Yunobo
