The Woobie/Tabletop Games: Difference between revisions

** Many of the [[Exclusively Evil]] races are prone to gaining player sympathy, but [[Lizard Folk|Kobolds]] seem to be the most downright pitied, especially since they're the default [[Butt Monkey]] race.

** One of the D&D-based Choose Your Own Adventure books, ''Return to Brookmere'', has a scene where the elf hero finds a young gnoll crying its eyes out, having been abandoned by its tribe for admiring pretty things like jewelery and disliking other gnolls' brutality and mayhem. Perhaps the earliest published example of Woobieism in an [[Exclusively Evil]] D&D race.

* In a very disturbing twist, anyone who sees the [[Creepy Child|Apex]] [[Enfante Terrible|Twins]] from [[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40k]] is tempted to treat them as Woobies, and they appear to be poor little kids hunted by the cruel and evil Inquisition for use in depraved and evil experiments, but in reality the Twins are [[Humanoid Abomination|psychotic murderous abominations hundreds of years old]] rather than cute eight year old girls.
