Gobling enemy line

The Mini-Goblin and Alec Goblin are enemies that are randomly fought in Golden Sun: The Lost Age, while the Gobling, Goblin, and Goblord are enemies that are randomly batted in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. These would appear to be two separate enemy lines due to the fact that none of their English names match and that they have drastically different designs between games - in The Lost Age, they resemble relatively human-sized bipedal goblin-like creatures wielding spiked clubs, while in Dark Dawn they resemble much smaller, armored, goblin-like creatures wielding short swords. However, their Japanese names match up, including the Goblord's Japanese name matching the "Baboon Goblin" name assigned to an unused third GBA variant hidden in the code in The Lost Age, and they also have identical sets of resistances, commands, and consumable items that they may use in battle.

In either game's case, the aforementioned monsters are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the games. In Golden Sun, there is another enemy named "Goblin"; See Hobgoblin enemy line for full details.

Mini-Goblin
A Mini-Goblin (ミニゴブリン) is a green level 8 variant. In The Lost Age it is first fought throughout Dehkan Plateau, and is subsequently fought in the lower half of the continent of Indra, as well as in Madra Catacombs.

In where they are first fought, Mini-Goblins are the toughest of the monsters that appear, which in this near-beginning part of the game can make them actual threats to a barely-leveled three-member party of Adepts. Immediately following the Dehkan Plateau, though, they will be immediately outclassed by Trolls.

A Mini-Goblin's statistics are as follows:

In addition to its regular battle commands, a Mini-Goblin can also use the following consumable items:
 * [[File:Herb.gif]] 2 Herbs: An item that restores roughly 50 HP to either the user or an ally.

Alec Goblin
An Alec Goblin (アレックゴブリン) is a brown level 22 variant. In The Lost Age it is one of the monsters that is fought in various areas of the overworld map accessible from the Great Eastern Sea as soon as you gain the ability to sail the Lemurian Ship.

As one of the stock monsters you would be likely to encounter on land during the portion of the game that lasts throughout the Great Eastern Sea, the Alec Goblin is generally at the height of the food chain, with the highest physical attack among the monsters on land. But it will certainly become very easy as the Great Eastern Sea arc progresses.

 * [[File:Oil Drop.gif]] 1 Oil Drop: An item that deals a Mars-aligned attack with a power rating of 80 and a range of 3. Alec Goblin uses this with a Mars elemental power rating of 85.

Baboon Goblin
The Baboon Goblin (バブーンゴブリン) exists as a named but unused variant in the code in The Lost Age, where none of its statistics and abilities are coded beyond weak placeholder abilities. Had it been used it would have appeared as a variant with dark blue skin. The Baboon Goblin made its first official debut in Dark Dawn, but is renamed Goblord in the English version.

Gobling
A Gobling (ゴブリン Goblin) is a yellowish-green level 4 variant. It is encountered in the overworld region outside Goma Plateau and on the Goma Highlands Road.
