Champions' Challenge

Goblins are one of the 'races' that have champions in the Champions' Challenge activity. To fight the Goblin Champion, the player must kill goblins until one drops a Champion scroll, which is a very rare drop.
Drops
Note: The labels 'rare' and 'very rare' are very overused in this section. Most items are very common compared to a truly rare item such as a Shield left half. 'Rarity' also depend on which goblin is killed. For instance, level 2 goblins (around Lumbridge) are more prone to drop bronze bolts, cabbage, chef's hats, and mind runes compared to the Goblin Village goblins.

Trivia
- If you choose to attack the goblin that is looting the man in Lumbridge, that goblin will be level 1.
- Goblins use old sound effects while fighting in the God Wars Dungeon.
- After an update, Level 2 goblins now have 67 health, instead of the regular 50.
- Along with primates, (monkeys, gorillas and ninja monkeys) goblins are the only NPC in Runescape you can transform to.
- The media of the Runescape homepage shows a picture of updated goblins.
- In the God Wars Dungeon, there is a type of level 12, banner-carrying, but extraordinarily weak kind of goblin, only having 30 life points. Their examine text, "A soldier to the death." is also highly ironic as they never attack anything, always flee from players and do not retaliate even when they are cornered. They are often killed to get killcount.

The updated goblins as seen on the RuneScape cinematic trailer.
