These strange humanoids have bodies made entirely of hardened sugar. When they take damage bits of their bodies may be cut off, but they do not bleed. Thus, they can survive wounds that would be fatal to other creatures, such as losing parts of the head or torso with no loss of function. For this reason, they only take half damage from all weapons. When reduced to 0 hit points, their bodies crumble into lumps of white sugar.

Sugar goblins do not use armor, which can abrade their bodies. Instead they prefer cloth garments. For every 10 sugar goblins, there will be a 2 hit die leader with between 7 and 14 hit points (1d8+6). A group of greater than thirty will also have a 3 hit die master goblin with between 15 and 20 hit points (1d6+14).

The skin and hair of the sugar goblin is white. At first glance they appear somewhat elfish or child-like but in combat their malicious smiles and taunts reveal their true character.
