The goblin is a humanoid creature only found in the early levels of the dungeon. Usually found alone, they are poorly equipped and can be easily dealt with. Goblins wielding clubs however, may prove tricky for low level characters with low health e.g. spellcasters, as a lucky hit may do considerable damage or even death.
Slightly deeper in the dungeon, goblins can also be found riding giant rats.
