I will need to edit the build and everything but here's a We Be Goblins character I built for a campaign several years ago. Alphonse (he took the name after his half-orc mentor who taught him some Druid s+!~ one night in the woods) is a Saurian Shaman druid with a Pachycephalosaurus companion that he drunkenly named Gecko, thinking it was just a large, ugly lizard. Deeply connected to nature and ashamed of his famous ancestor's fabled hatred of trees.
Alphonse is stuck under the hut, and misses the next game.
Alphonse, busy punching the air and scratching his naked tummy for these last few minutes squelches loudly as he hears his favorite game announced.
Alphonse turns, upset to Gutspiller. "But, weej wasch gonna dansche!"
"Uhh? You laffin? You laffin!" He attempts to whistle, trying to grab the attention of Gecko, who pulls his head out of a barrel of cider apples, and stamps on over. "You shtill laffin? I gotsch a BEEEEG buddy." Gecko, drunk and mouth full of slosh, appears to be foaming at the mouth.
His chest puffs up with confidence as he spits at the feet of those laughing. Gecko lows deeply. "Fnyaaaaah!" He sticks his nose up at those who laugh at him.
Gutspiller drunkenly eyed the naked and equally drunk Alphonse. "Issss yu propa... propasi... propashooo... propasishununing me, Fonse? Cusssss, I dance, but yu godda put sumthin onna, firsss...." "I am wearin shoes, Lady Wichlady."
"I," proclaims Alphonse, "whill dansche with yuu, Lady Wichlady." He bows, and offers a hand Gutspiller, still very drunk and very naked. "But ONLY if Gecko danschesh with Frogg."
Alphonse hops up and down, giddy at the sight of fire. A barrel of cider is dropped near the goblin, and he practically dives in, eager to drink and make merry. "Gecko! Here! Apples. They be good." The dinosaur seems unwilling at first, but after smelling the alcohol, eats three or four of them.
Alphonse contemplates the meaning of Gutspiller's words. "I not know the meaning and purpose of honor. I say it is a man thing, for now."
This answer seems to satisfy Alphonse, who waddles off toward Morat, Pyrrha, Gutspiller and Toad, Gecko close behind him.
Alphonse bumbles towards Cara Jos.
Gecko does not quite fit in the hut. Alphonse stands near the entrance during the meeting, and is the first to leave. He seems deep in contemplation.
Alphonse, inching forward, approaches Slorb. "Sse-sse-sse-sse-Slorb? There's something I've always wanted to ask you. Did you hurt your ear from the power of Chief's voice?" Gecko eats from a nearby tree.
Alphonse, spluttering and jittering away, walks up to the moot house, Gecko, his dinosaur companion, close behind him.
Alphonse Treesplitter meanders into view, tongue waggling and drool splashing onto the ground. His dinosaur companion, Gecko, is close behind him. So close in fact, that Gecko's foot accidentally collides with the body of his comrade, sending Alphonse tumbling towards Gutspiller and Cara Jos. He grins in greeting. "Hi." The goblin's voice is raspy, and breaks into nervous laughter after several silent seconds of deep breathing.
Fatmouth "Alphonse" Treesplitter is a descendant of the fabled goblin lord Axey Powerhouse, who claimed the family name of Treesplitter by chopping down a hundred trees and four treants with his axe all in one day. Treesplitter is very aware of his heritage, and it shames him deeply. He has always had a deep fondness for nature.

CN SMALL DRUID 1 (Saurian Shaman) MALE STR: 14 (+2)
HP: 8
FORT: +2
ATK
Equipment: Leather Armor, Armored Kilt (treats Leather Armor like Medium Armor), wooden shield, scythe (1d6), 35 darts (1d3). Prepared Spells: DRUID POWERS3 orisons and 2 1st levels a day. Nature Bond (Ex): At 1st level, a druid forms a close bond with an animal companion. A druid may begin play with any of the animals listed in Animal Choices. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the druid on her adventures.
Unlike normal animals of its kind, an animal companion's Hit Dice, abilities, skills, and feats advance as the druid advances in level. If a character receives an animal companion from more than one source, her effective druid levels stack for the purposes of determining the statistics and abilities of the companion. Most animal companions increase in size when their druid reaches 4th or 7th level, depending on the companion. If a druid releases her companion from service, she may gain a new one by performing a ceremony requiring 24 uninterrupted hours of prayer in the environment where the new companion typically lives. This ceremony can also replace an animal companion that has perished. Nature Sense (Ex): A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.
The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check. A saurian shaman can use wild empathy with dinosaurs and reptiles as a full-round action with a +4 bonus. SKILLS: ]HANDLE ANIMAL: 1 rank (+4)
PERCEPTION: 1 rank (+6) RIDE: 1 rank (+12) SURVIVAL: 1 rank (+6) TRAITS: Dangerously Curious: You have always been intrigued by magic, possibly because you were the child of a magician or priest.

You gain a +1 bonus on Use Magic Device checks, and Use Magic Device is always a class skill for you.
Fast-Talker: You had a knack at getting yourself into trouble as a child, and as a result developed a silver tongue at an early age. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff checks, and Bluff is always a class skill for you. FEATS: GECKOMounted Combat STATS: ANIMAL COMPANION STUFFGECKO

Link (Ex): A druid can handle her animal companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if she doesn’t have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion. Share Spells (Ex): TRICKS KNOWNThe druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid may cast spells on her animal companion even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion's type (animal). ATTACK: The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals.
