Goblins are one of the most common, low-level monsters found around Gielinor. They are a very popular monster killed by low-level players training their combat skills.

Goblins are often one of the first monsters a player will encounter in RuneScape, as they inhabit much of the area around Lumbridge.

The single armed goblin with a blue mail (as indicated in the gallery below) is the only aggressive goblin found anywhere, other than the variants found in the God Wars Dungeons. Whenever a player is standing anywhere inside the Goblin Cave (even when outside the goblin's direct surroundings), it will yell Halt intruder!, within regular time intervals. This goblin has a wander range spanning almost the entire goblin cave, so it may attack players practically anywhere inside these caves.
