The Skull of a Misty Mountain Goblin reflects the warped evolution of a creature long isolated in the depths of Middle-earth.
Generations of limited bloodlines and malnourishment have left their mark, as its irregular cranial structure, sunken nasal cavity, and brittle bone composition speak to a sheltered life spent in squalor. The stunted bone growth and diminutive dentition hint at a diet of whatever scraps could be stolen or stripped from unwary travellers that weren’t already hoarded by the despotic Goblin-king.
A grim relic of the wretched goblins who once infested Goblin-town, this specimen offers a rare glimpse into the desperate and degenerate denizens of the Misty Mountains; grotesque in their asymmetry and aberrant in their proportions.
