Drill to Earth's Core Goblin: The basic enemy of every run: low health, low damage and an ordinary walking speed. It comes in two random skins.
Every layer from the first metres down, and the Level 1 to 3 Dungeons. It first spawns in the Grass Layer (0 m down), per the layers page. Goblins fill the dungeons, and the Goblin King class sells them for double and recruits them.

Stats are from Fandom's Enemies table; where another source gives a different number, it is in brackets. Enemy health and damage grow with depth, so deeper layers hit harder than these base values.
How the Goblin Attacks
- Walks up and claws at you for 4 damage a hit (more in deeper layers, since enemy health and damage grow with depth).
How to Beat the Drill to Earth's Core Goblin
- Any weapon works: the Wood Sword's 20 damage takes five hits on a 100 HP Goblin.
- Late in a run, burn the corpses as fuel rather than selling them.
These tips come from the Goblin's Fandom page and the patch notes; none were tested in-game for this page.

- Fandom suggests burning Goblins as fuel rather than selling them: 10 coins is very little by the end of a run.
