Timeline

1.00minorFirst Appearance

Remembered by Erin as a group of 'little green things' that attacked her after she fled the Dragon. They chased her across the plains and slashed at her legs, causing several cuts before she managed to escape.

1.01reference

Erin remembers her previous encounter with the Goblins, which contributes to her fear of leaving the inn.

1.02major

A group of Goblins are discovered harvesting Amentus Fruit. Upon spotting Erin, seven warriors chase her back to the inn and break in to attack her. Despite their numbers and weapons, they are surprisingly fragile and are systematically beaten and intimidated by an enraged Erin, eventually fleeing in terror.

1.03minor

Erin reflects on the Goblins she fought previously, assessing their threat level. She deduces they live nearby because they also eat the blue fruits, and resolves that she needs a weapon to defend herself from them.

1.04major

A Goblin scout infiltrates the inn to ambush Erin, but is surprised and defeated by her. The rest of the seven-member ambush party waits outside, only to witness their comrade being thrown out before they flee in embarrassment. They serve as the primary physical threat in the chapter.

1.05reference

Referenced by Erin when she sees the daggers left from her previous encounter, and mentioned by the city guards as a possible source of the smoke they see.

1.06reference

Identified as the 'little green men' that chased Erin previously.

1.07

Update: Communicate non-verbally through gestures and pantomime, with only occasional grunts. Their social structure appears hierarchical, with larger 'warrior' types bullying smaller ones. They possess classes like [Gatherer] and [Chieftain] and Skills like [Detect Poison].

1.11minor

Several Goblins are seen following Erin from a distance as she walks to Liscor. She throws a rock in their direction to shoo them away.

1.12major

A significant portion of the chapter is dedicated to this species' perspective, showing their desperation, tribal dynamics, and emotional response to the deaths of their own.

Update: The tribe's desperate diet is shown to include cooked spiders. The chapter also portrays their capacity for silent, communal grief, as the tribe works mechanically and quietly after the [Chieftain] learns of the deaths.

1.13minor

A small, child-like Goblin who attacks Erin in a grief-stricken rage while she is burying the dead. Erin spares its life. Later, it appears with the hunting party but hesitates to attack her again.

Update: Described as a small, ragged, child-like [Goblin] wearing a stained grey loincloth and a few rags on its chest. It wields a small knife.

Update: Initially attacks [Erin Solstice] out of wild, grief-stricken rage over the deaths of the other two Goblins. After being spared by her, it later hesitates to attack when with the rest of the tribe, suggesting a conflict between its desire for revenge and its fear or confusion.

Update: Their culture includes a concept of 'blood for blood' vengeance, enacted by the tribe's leader, the [Chieftain]. They are shown to have leaders and act in a coordinated manner during a hunt.

1.14minorLatest Appearance

The species is represented by the Goblin Chieftain, who acts as the violent antagonist of the chapter. His actions and appearance provide insight into the nature of Goblins.

Update: Goblins can have burning red eyes. A Chieftain can be significantly larger than a young human woman, standing a head taller.
