The goblin is a race in Desktop Dungeons, unlocked after finding it in a sub dungeon and giving it 20 gold. You must survive the dungeon after finding it. Back in the kingdom, you must pay more gold to upgrade their building and be able to use them.
The goblin gets +5 experience points for every 85 conversion points.
Strategy
Goblins can use their racial bonus to raise themselves to a moderately high level relatively early on, allowing them to reduce the amount of exploration they are doing and conserve tiles for later. In the long-term, however, the other races will catch up to the goblin. Because of the way levels work in Desktop Dungeons, the goblin will receive less XP for defeating strong foes since he's a higher level, and in the long-run he'll end up losing almost as much experience as he gains! This means you must take advantage of the goblin's racial advantage early. The goblin is mostly useful for strategies that involve fighting the boss early, and is the hardest race to use effectively. The goblin will always be significantly weaker than a human, elf, dwarf, or orc of equal level, and classes that depend on high attack (such as Warlords, Berserkers, and Monks) make particularly poor choices.
Assassin: The assassin takes advantage of the goblin's high level combined with the SWIFT HAND skill, wich allows you to instantly kill monsters of a lower level than you. This can be used in conjunction with Tikki Tooki, Dracul, Jehora Jeheyu, or Taurog for large amounts of easy piety. Start fighting the boss as early as possible, using repeated level-ups to keep your battle going. If the boss is vulnerable to poison, you can even continue exploring while fighting him.
