"Oye, I hope you enjoyed your stay." - El Goblino after you leave.

El Goblino, also called El Goblino Peque Carmine IV, is a friendly and talkative entity that only appears at the Jeff Shop in The Hotel and The Mines. He currently serves as a character that players can interact with in order to learn various pieces of information, or just to have fun.

Appearance

El Goblino is a red, stubby, goblin-like creature with a golden ear piercing, ripped brown shorts, and spiked wristbands on each arm. He has three digits on each limb, sharp ears, a beak-like nose, large yellow eyes that poke out of his head, nostrils and a small tail. Two small fangs are seen protruding from the left corner of his mouth.

Behavior

El Goblino is capable of talking to the player through interaction. He will only provide the player with three lines of dialogue before going silent for the rest of the run. All of his dialogue options are chosen at random. The options are not in order, simply listed as arrival, chatting, and farewell. El Goblino frequently uses the filler words "man", "düd", and "oye" in his dialogue. He also speaks in a mixture of Spanish and English, using many slang terms popular among Hispanic Americans. This personality is also present during the 2024 April Fool's Update.

If Rush, Ambush or a Rooms entity besides A-90 (with the "Room For More" modifier) comes through the Jeff Shop, El Goblino will hide behind the crate where he usually sits.

• El Goblino is one of the 3 Entities to have dialogue, the others being Guiding Light and Curious Light.

• El Goblino has his own UGC accessories, "El Goblino's Head", "El Goblino" and "El Goblino's Tail" made by the official Doors Developers.

• The line "You want more? Oye, all you need hides behind another door." is a reference to TryHardNinja's DOORS song, dubbed Another Door.
• Judging by El Goblino's dialogue, he has encountered various entities throughout his life in the Hotel.

In one of El Goblino's dialogues, he tells the player that if the water turns black, they must run away because it is dangerous.

  • Unlike Bob, it is only a Rush outside of the shop and El Goblino doesn't have a secret jumpscare when interacting.
  • Similar to Bob, it was also based on a fanmade jumpscare made by the YouTube user "Jack Doors" where the player chats with El Goblino then it gets sharp teeth in the shop and the jumpscare appears.

  • He says that he was dreaming about fighting with the "macho-meat düd", which is what El Goblino calls Figure.

Can you imagine him scavenging through the hallways? Eheehee! ¡Es gracioso, hombre!" "Phew! Something stinks, hombre! The smell gets way worse closer to room 100. What do you think it is, düd?"

(Reference to the Firedamp rooms) "I had a dream that I had a whole crate of gold bars..." "...Why did I have to wake up, hombre?! Take me back!" "I wonder if we could fish in here, düd. You- you got any bait?" "Oye... why do you think the Mines are here underneath the Hotel? Who built this stuff, man? Weird!" "I like dis place much better than the Hotel, düd. Wait... why is there a mineshaft underneath a hotel, anyways?" "I think there's a little creature living in the walls, hombre... You down for a little pest control? Eheehee!" (Possible reference to Louie) "Looking good, hombre! M- must have burned off some calories running from those giant giggly-düds! Eheeheehee!" "I think that macho-meat-düd followed you down here, düd. We used to be safe from dat guy down here!" Oye, hombre... what's up with that big ole' vine over dere? It gives me the creeps! Eheehee!" (Mines exclusive, referring to the vine holding a streetlamp behind both him and Bob) "Oye, hombre... I was searching about earlier, found a bunch of good loot..." "...Before I knew it, POOF! Something came out of the wall and robbed me blind!" "Oye, whats up with all those dead screechy-düds? Gross, man!" (Reference to the dead Screeches at door 150) "You ever notice how all those monsters are more vicious down here, hombre? Uff, this stuff is dangerous!" "That little niña in the window keeps trying to swipe Jeff's items without paying! Make sure you pay for them, düd." (Reference to Sally) "Gold? I love gold! I would love items too, but that little niña in the window always beats me to the chase." (Reference to Sally) "Oye, if you're wondering why Jeff don't got something in stock, chances are that little niña in the window beat him to it." (Reference to Sally) "Be careful in the agua hombre...It's pretty dirty, scary monsters can hide in dere!'" "I think we talked enough, eh? See you later." "Oye, see you next time düd. Eheeheehee!" "Nice talking, düd! You and me should meet up again later." "I think we talked enough, eh? ¡Hasta luego!" "¡Adios! See you later, düd." "Oye, I hope you enjoyed your stay." "¡Hasta luego!" "You want more? Oye, all you need hides behind another door." "I'm done talking for now. Take care, düd." "Enough chit-chat, hombre. You got places to be." "I think I'm about to head out. See you later, hombre." "Oye, see you later, hombre. Watch out for those giggly-düds!" This dialogue is only played if Rush or Ambush comes through Jeff Shop (This is currently disabled at the moment). "Uff. Sorry for not helping you out there, hombre. A man's gotta protect his own!" "You alright, hombre?" "Whew. What, y- you thought those guys only ate humans? Eheehee!" "You alright, Bob? Bob? Speak to me, buddy!" "Düd! That was so scary! ¡Muy malo!" "Uff, man... I thought we were s-safe in here." "Oye, thank goodness Bob said something, or I'd be toast, hombre."

Bugs

• There is a bug that causes El Goblino to say his "hiding" phrase after his farewell quote. This quote will still appear after he hides from Rush or Ambush, even if the players already made him say it.
• When an entity is approaching, El Goblino simply teleports to his hiding position rather than having an animation of going there.
• Since the Floor 2 update, when a player has a El Goblino's Head or El Goblino UGC, El Goblino doesn't mention the dialogue. This is believed to be a bug.
• After the Floor 2 update, El Goblino won't have any voice lines anymore when using the "Voice Acting" modifier.
