The '''Goblin''', also called '''Kid Goblin''', is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. Debuting in ''[[Final Fantasy Adventure]]'', they have appeared in most installments ever since. As their name would suggest, they are typically depicted as stout, impish creatures. They differ however from typical goblin depictions in fantasy word as they are fully clothed from head to toe and favor a variety of bladed weapons.

Goblins are some of the rare monsters of the ''Mana'' franchise to be depicted as being capable of forming societies to the point of having a distinct culture in some installments. Their stronger variants suggest them forming some form of hierarchy.

-===Attributes===
-Goblins are typically seen in underground settings such as caves and mines, but can sometimes be found frolicking in open fields.
-[[Gnome]] is typically the elemental affinity for the subterranean creature, meaning that it ends up being weak to [[Jinn]]. In some games, however, the pattern is reversed and the magic to use against them is earth instead.
