Love it. I headcanon that goblin sorcerors are born when somebody chucks some psychedelic mushrooms into the cauldron
Anyone else think of Dilated Peoples?
The Goron race in the Legend of Zelda lore already works like the dwarves on this example - they’re naturally spawned from rocks, and as such, don’t have a concept of parenting or sex. The closest thing to a family that they have is their “rock brothers” - fellow Gorons that happen to have spawned from the same rock they did.
When the Dwarves and Humans first interacted they both described it as “we just smash”, and much sitcom hilarity came out of a simple misunderstanding that nobody bothered to clarify.
Dwarves: “Humans do what now to reproduce?”
