There are many dangerous and mysterious creatures who reside in the mountains of a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. The player can take on the role of one of these creatures, by playing as a Goron from The Legend of Zelda.
The Goron debuted in Ocarina of Time as one of the prominent races in Hyrule. Since then, they have appeared in almost every entry in the series. The Goron are a mountain-dwelling race that carves cities out of caves. The incredible heat of the magma around their home has made the Goron resistant to heat, while also giving them prime locations to forge powerful weapons. The Goron cities can be a pain to enter, but their people have been some of Link's staunchest allies throughout the history of Hyrule.

Roleplaying As A Goron
Goron are among the most affable races in Hyrule. Quick to laughter and first to compete in friendly sumo matches, the Goron cities are home to good-hearted revelry and fun. Their physical strength also makes them mighty warriors, and the strong iron and stone of their homeland mean that they never lack for high-quality gear.
The average Goron has a light-hearted spirit, but becomes fierce when their friends are threatened. They enjoy physical sports, devouring tasty rocks, and extremely high temperatures. Goron society is loose enough that it's not unusual to see them become adventurers. A simple desire to earn lots of gold and gems could be all it takes for a Goron to leave their homeland. If a great evil rises in the world, then some of the more devoted Goron will risk their lives to stop it, in order to save their fellows.
As Goron are a warrior race, their adventurers often belong to the Barbarian or Fighter class. They would be skilled at becoming any of the martial classes, and their love of hand-to-hand combat means they would make excellent monks.
