Goblin (Tactics)

Goblins are a diminutive species of monster in Final Fantasy Tactics. Among the first monsters battled in the game, they fit the classic Goblin niche of also being some of the weakest. They have an elemental weakness to Ice.
== Ranks ==
;Rank I: Goblin
Regular red-capped Goblins are fought in many of the Chapter 1 locations and are quite weak, having a low movement range.
;Rank II: Black Goblin
The black-clothed variants of Goblins pack a bit more punch and HP. They also know the Turn Punch skill.
;Rank III: Gobbledygook (Gobbledeguck)
The Gobbledygook race has the best HP and skills of any other Goblin, but that still isn't saying much.
