The Goblin is a powered exoskeleton used by Unggoy. The battle suit was built for Unggoy by Unggoy, with the Goblin's designers agreeing that it was the perfect embodiment of agility and lethality.[1]
Specifications
Design details
Despite its size, the Goblin is incredibly mobile and capable of jumping up to two hundred feet into the air. The Goblin is able to use its "arms" to punch any opponent that draws too close, or utilize an electromagnetic pulse capable of disabling nearby vehicles.[1]
Armament
Goblins are armed with a double-barreled heavy needle cannon capable of dealing significant damage to vehicles. The Needler can also be utilized as a multiple-launch system, capable of firing a barrage of blamite that can target up to eight different hostiles. This feature is powered by a device attached to the Goblin's backside, and is disabled when the device is removed or destroyed. The Goblin is also armed with a grenade launcher.[1]
Variants
Two variants of the Goblin are present in the UNSC's War Games simulations; the default permutation and the Mythic-tier permutation. Both are said to function somewhat differently.
Trivia
Like many Covenant vehicles before it, the Unggoy's Goblin is named after a supernatural creature. The Goblin is a legendary mischievous or evil dwarf-like daemon from European stories and accounts of the Middle Ages.
