"Gorons are guardians of nature, mountain Fae that take the form of bulky yellow humanoids made of rock. This large mountain-dwelling race, slightly larger than a normal man but much stronger, is often found guarding secluded caves and mountains across Tamriel, often blending in with the rocks and catching invaders off guard. They possess moderate intelligence, but despite being revered by some groups, Gorons are usually hostile towards people. A Goron's legs are short, especially compared to its much longer arms, the head is small and broad, and the body is rounded in appearance. The yellowish rocks that form their bodies are covered with luminous markings of unknown symbology.
They typically live in or under mountain ranges of several provinces, specially the warm lands of Hammerfell and Elsweyr. In Skyrim they seem to occur mainly on the mountains of the Reach, close to the Craglorn's frontier. In this region, these nature spirits are known for their sporadic outbursts of rage against miners, then opening passages that connect their remote caves to the mine corridors and attacking the workers fiercely. Gorons attack with their long, strong arms made of pure rock and can easily cause small earthquakes."
