Dungeon Goblin

Adversaries Designed by James Bratten • Art by Erik Wilson[

Adversary overview

A scrappy green humanoid with jagged teeth, wild eyes, and a weapon that looks like it was assembled five minutes ago. Dungeon goblins are quick, loud, and opportunistic. They prefer to swarm isolated targets, jab with crude weapons, and run when things go poorly.

Not to be confused with the Goblin Ancestry, these are mean lil’ dudes.

From Dungeon Crawler Carl: “Small and reckless, the Dungeon’s goblins are associated with explosions and unstable contraptions. Crawlers who receive explosion-related achievements earn Goblin Loot Boxes containing ever-unstable Goblin Dynamite and goblin smoke bombs, and may earn skill points in the Goblin Explosives Skill.

Goblins live in clans lead by a War Chieftain or – occasionally – Goblin Warlord. Goblin Shamans (or Shamankas) specialize in Anguish Magic, and serve as the leader’s second-in-commands. If a crawler kills only one goblin in a group, the others will return shortly after with the rest of the clan.

Their guttural language sounds like grunts and squeaks, and their laughter is high-pitched and squealing.”
