### Gobling

*Main article: Gobling*

Goblings are small, goblin toddlers that are often found in groups of 2-4. When Goblings aggro to you, unlike their older counterparts, instead of attacking you, Goblings will instead enter a cowering animation. Goblings are extremely fragile, dying in one hit most of the time.

### Slingshot Goblin

*Main article: Slingshot Goblin*

Slingshot Goblins are the ranged enemies in Goblin Cave. They have low health, beaten only by their younger counterparts, the Gobling. They are slow-moving, and tend to attack from a distance with their slingshots. A notable behaviour of the Slingshot Goblin is that, when they reach low health, they attempt to run.

### Dagger Goblin

*Main article: Dagger Goblin*

Dagger Goblins inflict melee damage with their dagger. Unlike the other enemies in Goblin Cave, Dagger Goblins dash forwards when they attempt to strike. This can make them a pesky opponent to fight, but they tend to go down without much of a challenge. Dagger Goblins are seen using the Crude Dagger as their main weapon.

### Spear Goblin

*Main article: Spear Goblin*

Spear Goblins often spawn in pairs, being the only enemies in Goblin Cave to have armor equipped. They have a higher Defense value than the Slingshot Goblin and Dagger Goblin, and have a higher health and damage output than said enemies as well. Spear Goblins are seen wearing a Spiked Helmet and using a Worn Spear as their main weapon.

### Hobgoblin

*Main article: Hobgoblin*

Hobgoblins are dramatically larger than the other enemies in Goblin Cave, and have a much higher health to boot. Their main attack consists of an AoE attack where the Hobgoblin will slam their hands into the ground, dealing heavy damage. Due to their juggernaut-like nature, Hobgoblins are surrounded by Dagger Goblins and Slingshot Goblins.

### Earth Elemental

*Main article: Earth Elemental*

While technically not a natural-occurring enemy, Earth Elementals are summoned by the Goblin Shaman to assist them in combat. Often serving as a shield to soak up damage for the Goblin Shaman, Earth Elementals are pesky enemies. However, they are defeated relatively fast, not only due to their health, but also because their health points degrade rapidly as time passes until their eventual death.
## Bosses
