==Characteristics==

Squat little [[Humanoid family|munchkins]], the ~~Bodkin~~ family resembles goblins of Welsh myth. Bodkins prefer to fight from a distance, letting fly with long-distance arrows from their shortbows, while supporting their front-line friends with [[Buff]].

They have green skin and wear robes and hoods made of simple brown cloth. Other varieties of bodkins have different skin tones and will swap out their clothing as they become more deft with their bow, and gain new accolades to reflect this.

The archers also have a tendency to waste their turns by pulling out a watering can and are more likely to miss their shots when enraged. Starting with Version 5.0 of the game, ~~Vicious~~ bodkin archers began appearing in the [[Netherworld]], as well, gaining the ability to perform [[Rain of Pain]].
