Goblin Cage

What it looks like

The Goblin Cage is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Goblin Stadium (Arena 1). It spawns a building with moderate hitpoints. When defeated, it will spawn a Goblin Brawler, which is a fast, single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troop with high hitpoints and high damage. It appears to be a wooden cage with four metal supports, a lock on the front, and a pair of bars at each side, while the Goblin Brawler appears as a larger, buff Goblin with a unibrow, white bands tied on his hands, and tattoos printed on his back and arms. He is also the same as that spawned by the Party Hut. A Goblin Cage card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.

Trivia

• Goblins are small, grotesque, monstrous creatures that appear in the folklore of multiple European cultures. First attested in stories from the Middle Ages, they are ascribed conflicting abilities, temperaments, and appearances depending on the story and country of origin, ranging from mischievous household spirits to malicious, bestial thieves. They often have magical abilities similar to a fairy or demon, such as the ability to shapeshift. Similar creatures include duendes, kobolds, leprechauns, and ghouls. In the German and Dutch language settings of the game, the Goblin Cage's name translates to "Kobold Cage". In the Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and Vietnamese language settings of the game, the Goblin Cage's name translates to "Strongman's Cage", "Cage for Goblins", "Cage with Goblin", "Ghoul Cage", and "Leprechaun Cage" respectively.
