Goblin Curse

What it looks like

The Goblin Curse is an Epic card that is unlocked from Serenity Peak (Arena 14). It is an area-damage, air-targeting spell with a medium radius and very low damage that is dealt every second for 6 seconds. If those troops are defeated, they would convert into Goblins. It is a lime-colored liquid encased in a large vial, which is secured by a thin rope, with a large, rectangular wooden cap with three golden hairs, a circular mouth, two large ears, and two green, gem-shaped eyes on the front, resembling a Baby Goblin. A Goblin Curse card costs 2 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.
