What Is A Treasure Goblin In Diablo 4?

A Treasure Goblin has been a very fun type of creature in the Diablo series. These creatures are hunched over goblins that carry large sacks of loot. When a player encounters one of the Treasure Goblins, they will hear them laughing in the distance. After catching the tell-tale cackle, you will notice a Treasure Chest on the minimap. 

Head towards the Treasure Chest and a Treasure Goblin will be revealed. However, upon attacking it, it will not just sit still and take the punishment. In fact, when attacked, it will run for its life — and to secure its loot. As the Treasure Goblin flees, you can follow it via a trail of dropped gold it leaves. Players must be quick in locating and defeating it however, because if they wait too long, the Treasure Goblin will open up a portal and escape.

Hunting down these goblins is definitely worth the hassle though, because not only will they drop tons of gold for your grubby little hands, but also crafting materials and rare items. With this in mind, players will want to keep their eyes peeled and slay any Treasure Goblins they find in Diablo 4.
