Goblins, by nature, are relatively short creatures, with even the tallest among them standing no more than 1.5 meters high.
Naturally, their king, who matches this height, is considered towering among his kind. Thus, the sight of Leon, a humanoid significantly taller than their king, initially caused the goblins considerable unease.
This unexpected variable led them to question the feasibility of their initial plan and whether they could realistically overpower him if they banded together.
As Leon encountered the mutant leopard, the goblins took the opportunity to observe him discreetly, gauging his combat effectiveness. They compared his prowess against their own experiences hunting in the forest, particularly how they had managed against the leopard in past encounters.
It didn't take long for them to notice that Leon was dispatching the beast with an alarming efficiency that far surpassed their combined efforts in previous hunts.
