Goblin Giant

What it looks like

The Goblin Giant is an Epic card that is unlocked from the Jungle Arena (Arena 9). It spawns a single-target, building-targeting, melee, ground troop with very high hitpoints and moderate damage. He also carries two Spear Goblins on his back, that can attack independently on the Goblin Giant. When he is defeated, the Spear Goblins spawn and continue attacking. He appears to be a colossal, aquamarine-skinned Goblin wearing a brown aviator hat and pants with stitches, along with a backpack with ropes tied on the sides and team-colored suspenders, and has two ropes tied on his wrists, teal eyebrows, and a deep pink nose. A Goblin Giant card costs 6 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 setting of the game, the Goblin Giant's name translates to "Kobold Giant". In the Spanish, Arabic, and Vietnamese language setting of the game, the Goblin Giant's name translates to "Duende Giant", "Giant Ghoul", and "Giant Leprechaun" respectively.
