Goblins

What it looks like

The Goblins is a Common card that is unlocked from Goblin Stadium (Arena 1). It spawns four very fast, single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troops with low hitpoints and low damage. Their deployment is in a square formation. The Goblins take the appearance of small, green creatures with pointy ears, green eyes, dark green eyebrows, amber sclerae, and a large peach nose, while carrying daggers and wearing team-colored suspenders and wristbands, along with brown pants and shoes. They are also the same as those spawned by the Goblin Barrel, Goblin Gang, Goblin Drill, Party Hut, Goblin Curse, Evolved Mortar, and the Evolved Goblin Giant. A Goblins 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. In the German and Dutch language setting of the game, the Goblins' name translates to "Kobolds". In the Spanish, Arabic, and Vietnamese language setting of the game, the Goblins' name translates to "Duendes", "Ghouls", and "Leprechauns" respectively. The Goblins, Spear Goblins, Goblin Cage, and Goblin Hut are the only cards associated with Goblins that are unlocked in Goblin Stadium.
• The Goblins are 1 of 19 troops which first existed in Clash of Clans, the others being Minions, Archers, Skeletons, Barbarians, Giant, Valkyrie, Wizard, Hog Rider, Witch, P.E.K.K.A., Balloon, Golem, Wall Breakers, Bowler, Cannon Cart, Phoenix, Lava Hound, and the Archer Queen. In Clash of Clans, they carried a small bag which was designed to steal resources. Despite their origins, the Goblins carry daggers as weapons, rather than bags for loot as they no longer directly steal loot, nor do they prioritise Elixir Collectors over other targets. Their Star Level 3 Skin grants them a dark red mohawk similar to the Level 6 Goblin in Clash of Clans.
• The Goblins are 1 of 3 troops which can be spawned by a troop (Goblins/Goblin Gang/Evolved Goblin Giant), a spell (Goblin Barrel), and a building (Goblin Drill). The others are Skeletons and Barbarians.

• In their description the word “unarmored” may be hinting at a new card. It is also a reference to the Minions and how it has the sentence and the Mega Minion was eventually released.
• Goblins are similar to Spear Goblins. However, take note they are not ranged and have to run up to a target to melee. Goblins also have significantly more health and damage than Spear Goblins, despite not looking muscular, like the Spear Goblins do.
