Goblin Scout

The Goblin Scout is an uncommon surface enemy. Its appearance is similar to Goblin Invasion enemies, but the Goblin Scout spawns outside that event, and can appear during ordinary gameplay. Goblin Scouts drop Tattered Cloth, a crafting material required to craft the Goblin Battle Standard.

Goblin Scouts spawn only in the outer two thirds of the world lengthwise; therefore, they will not spawn in the middle third of the world (around the player's original spawn point). They will also not spawn in Corruption or Crimson areas.

It is one of the few enemies that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.

Tips

 * As they are an uncommon enemy, using a Battle Potion and Water Candle in combination is an effective way to get them to spawn.

Trivia

 * Goblin Scouts are the only Goblin enemies that do not appear during a Goblin Invasion.
