The Treasure Goblin is a dungeon-exploring semi-monster who is a new addition to the Diablo gameplay experience. He runs very quickly, dropping gold as he moves, as well as more gold and items when players hit him. If killed he drops numerous quality items, much like a [[transcendent resplendent chest]].
Despite his name and sneaky appearance, the Treasure Goblin doesn't seem to have the ability to steal from players or chests. He's just a sort of moving treasure chest, purely there as a bonus without offering any risk or danger. His official description, from an update on Blizzard's Diablo facebook page.
