Demolition infantry of the goblin horde
Goblin Peons form the backbone labor force of the Goblin Army, marching in large groups toward settled outposts. Capable of climbing vertical ledges and prying open wooden doors, they breach player structures to let stronger combatants flood inside. They march into combat with 60 health alongside 4 defense, scaling obstacles with persistent determination.
Securing entryways and collecting spiky balls
While individually dealing 12 damage in Classic and 24 in Expert, Goblin Peons become dangerous when swarming enclosed rooms in groups. Slaying them yields Spiky Balls at a 49.8% rate in quantities of 1–5, alongside the mechanical Harpoon at a 0.5% rate, providing valuable tools to trap approaching enemies.
Trivia
- Goblin Peons can break through closed wooden doors after knocking repeatedly.
- Placing a solid block behind a door prevents Peons from forcing it open.
