The Vent Goblins

After being cast aside by the Huskfather's grace, these goblins live in the shadows, feeding off of the souls of crewmembers who stray too far from the beaten paths of the submarine.

Unlike their cousins, the Ballast Goblins, the Vent goblins remember how to steal souls. They use this to increase their longevity. The most respected vent goblins have stolen the most souls.

A few years after being cast aside by the Huskfather, the Vent Goblins found Precious.

Precious guided the Vent Goblins through their new lives in the shadows, allowing them to feed it souls in order to gain near immortality.

The crew were tired of their comrades being stolen away and losing their souls, so one captain had enough and started the First Goblin War. And that wouldn't be the last.

After the First Goblin War, the Vent Goblins retreated into their vents. After much planning, they tried to make peace with the crew, offering them a lesser copy of Precious. When the deal soured, the Vent Goblins rushed to their vents and went into hiding. Eventually, a captain started to hunt them down, but a well respected vent goblin stole his soul before he could do any real damage. This spurred the Second Goblin War.

The Age of Desolation followed this, where the Vent Goblins were rarely seen and considered a minor nuisance.
