Goblin

Goblins are generally weak monsters who are popular for combat training at low combat levels, they are especially useful for training melee and magic.

Locations
Goblins can be found in various places, including:
 * Lumbridge - Mainly found on the east side of the River Lum, but can also be found near the path leading to Draynor Village/Wizards' Tower (level 2)
 * Lumbridge Swamp (level 5) [2]
 * Goblin Village (level 5)
 * Port Sarim (levels 2 & 4)
 * Around the Digsite (level 11)
 * Stronghold Of Security (levels 5, 6 & 7)
 * Underground Pass (levels 5 & 11)
 * Goblin Cave (levels 1 & 2)
 * South of the Coal Trucks (levels 1 & 2)
 * Holes in Myreque Hideout in Mort Myre (levels 2, 5 & 11)
 * God Wars Dungeon (level 84)
 * Observatory Dungeon (levels 2 & 5)
 * East of Gunnarsgrunn, south-west of the Grand Exchange (level 11)
 * North of Ardougne (levels 1 & 2)

 * Turael and Spria's Slayer challenge (levels 1, 5 and 11)

Champions' Challenge
Goblins are one of the 'races' that have champions in the Champions' Challenge Distraction and Diversion. To fight the Goblin Champion, the player must kill goblins until one drops a Goblin Champion's scroll, which is a very rare drop.

Drops
Note: The labels 'rare' and 'very rare' are relative in this section. Most items are very common compared to a much rarer item such as a shield left half. Rarity also depends on which goblin is killed. For instance, level 1 goblins (around Lumbridge) are more prone to drop bronze bolts, cabbage, chef's hats, and mind runes compared to the Goblin Village goblins.

Charms
Note: Goblins from Goblin Village do not drop charms.

Trivia

 * The media of the Runescape homepage shows a picture of updated goblins.
 * Along with primates (monkeys, gorillas and ninja monkeys), goblins are the only NPC in Runescape you can transform to excluding certain emotes.
 * Some common goblins have a "talk" option such as the one in the hay barn in Draynor near Mabel. However, upon talking to them, the game box will say "The goblin doesn't have anything interesting to say."
 * Some of the graphically updated goblins that appear in the Goblin Village appear to be smoking cigars.
 * Prior to the Evolution of Combat, the goblins with the flags would run from players. This does not happen anymore.
