Goblins are mischievous entities that often manifest as short ugly humanoids. Like poltergeists, Goblins tend to enjoy causing havoc. They appear in The Real Ghostbusters.
Samhain's Goblin Minions[]
Main article: Two Goblin Minions
Two goblins were minions of Samhain who liberated him twice: Once from his stone prison and once from the Containment Unit. Another pair of goblins were used by Egon to connect search lights so Samhain could be weakened and trapped. Many new goblins were shown in his return.
Drool the Dog-Faced Goblin[]
Main article: Drool
Kestrel's Goblins[]
In Lewiston, the demoness Kestrel was often accompanied by Goblins.[5] She and her Goblin minions were imprisoned in a crystal ball by Eli Spengler, released, and then re-imprisoned by his descendant Egon Spengler. Some of her Goblin minions were captured in traps. While free, they displayed the strength to rip a bumper off a bus, disable tires without use of equipment, and operate a construction vehicle.
