Description:

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Redcaps are a subspecies of the common Goblin. They are infamous for their blood-drenched outfits and vampiric-like tendencies to drink blood, making them outcasts among even the goblin settlements.

While better compared to the Feral Goblin, Redcaps can often be seen as a monster or a bandit, as they assault travelers on the road to steal their valuables and blood. As for why some goblins would want to participate in the act of drinking blood, which unlocks this evolution line for them, is a mystery. Some people suspect them of being the thralls of vampires.

Appearance:

Redcaps are visually not that different from goblins. They are as small as children humans, have round ears and noses, and an overall dirty appearance. The last part is especially emphasized regarding the Redcaps, as they prefer to use blood to dye their clothes, noticeably their characteristic red hats/caps/hoods. They have a somewhat more brown-reddish skin color compared to the more brown-green goblins.

Abilities:

Danger rank: E++

Rarity rank: D

Redcaps have a higher SPD and STR value compared to other goblins. To compare them, they act similar to the Goblin Thief species, specializing in classes that can inflict a lot of bloodshed and [Bleed] status ailments. As Blood Drinkers, they can restore their life force and stamina by drinking blood, so they can be considered a more robust Goblin Thief. If one faces off against a Redcap, make sure not to let your blood spill at all, just to be safe.

Garami's comment: I doubt that's going to happen. It irks me to say, but this young fisherman could be considered handsome in the eyes of young women. It REALLY irks me to say so, but it's true.
