The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a harmless monster type first found in Diablo 3. Goblins (or Gobbies) are found randomly scattered around the dungeons and [[Rift]]s.
==Treasure Goblin Types==
Diablo 3 debuted with just the one basic type of Treasure Goblin, though their drop rate and item quality was buffed and their AI tweaked in patches. [[Reaper of Souls]] made no initial changes to Goblins, but [[Patch 2.1]] added the bonus treasure land [[Greed's Domain]] reached only through a Goblin portaland Rainbow Goblins, and Patch [[2.1.1]] introduced four additional types of Goblins.
All types of goblins (except Rainbow) may open a portal to [[Greed's Domain]] the Treasure Vault level.
All types of Goblins can be found one at a time, in normal games, either in Campaign or Adventure Mode. In Nephalem Rifts players will not find any Rainbow Goblins, but the other types of Goblin will sometimes very rarely be found in large clusters of 6-12 (or even more) which creates wild scrambles as the Goblins scatter in every direction, dropping loot as they run.
==Escape Portal==
The Treasure Goblin was first revealed in the playable demo at [[Blizzcon 2010]]. The developers were clearly proud of their new addition to the game, making numerous jokes about chasing and "beating the candy" out of the Goblin.

The initial version of the Goblin, seen pre-release and then in [[Diablo 3 vanilla]], was harder to notice since he did not show up on the map, didn't stand beside and open portal, made no warning sound, and the text window messages about "engaged an Elite" didn't yet exist in the game. Goblins could also activate while still a long distance from the player, and were often hit accidentally by ranged attacks or sought out by Followers. These factors often caused players to miss goblins, or not notice them until they saw the trail of gold, too late to chase after the Goblin that had dropped it.
