Coastal vanguard reconnaissance on outer world boundaries
The Goblin Scout is an exploratory soldier found near the outer boundaries of the map on surface terrain. With 80 health and 6 defense, this scout wanders across sandy ocean dunes or outer grasslands, striking with 20 contact damage in Classic, 40 in Expert, and 60 in Master mode. Unlike members of the main invasion, scouts travel alone without mage support.
Assembling battle standards from tattered cloth remnants
Finding Goblin Scouts requires patrolling outer lateral thirds of the surface when no goblin invasion is currently in progress. Upon elimination, every scout drops Tattered Cloth at a guaranteed 100% rate (releasing 1–2 pieces). Combining ten pieces of Tattered Cloth with wood at a Loom creates the Goblin Battle Standard, enabling manual summoning of the Goblin Army.
Trivia
- Goblin Scouts only generate on the surface in the outer two sixths of the world map.
- They will never spawn if an active Goblin Army invasion event is underway.
