Rimuru Tempest saved a goblin settlement from the Garo tribe. As a result, the goblins began to worship Rimuru. Rimuru begins building a town to protect the goblins. Furthermore, Rimuru's naming of the goblins allowed them to evolve from goblins (small demons) to hobgoblins (human demons). As a result, there are many goblins who serve Rimuru.

One of the goblins who lived in Goblin Village. A lovable, silly character, he was the mood maker. Although he is a subordinate of Rimuru Tempest, they are on a bad-budget basis, often chatting about silly things together. When he does something, he doesn't do it alone, but works together with his subordinates, and Rimuru believes that this attitude makes him suited to being a leader. Despite being blessed with talent, he himself does not seem to realize it. When he went to the armed nation of Dwargon with Rimuru, he unknowingly learned how to summon the Storm Garo.

 

Garou Tribe (Garouzoku), Tempest Wolf Tribe
