Goblin Tinkerer

The Goblin Tinkerer is an NPC that sells several unique items and provides the Reforge function. He can be acquired after a Goblin Army has been defeated, spawning randomly in open areas in the Cavern layer. He will appear to be bound at first, and like the Mechanic, Wizard and Stylist, talking to him in this state will free him. He will then respawn as long as a vacant House is available.

The Goblin's reforge option allows the player to spend a sum of Coins to randomize the Modifier for his or her weapon or accessory.

Items sold
Once the Goblin Tinkerer has been freed, he will sell the following:

Names
The tinkerer may have any of the following names:

Tips

 * He periodically spawns near the player as they travel the Cavern layer, respawning if they get too far away. Therefore, spending hours clearing the map and searching every tunnel is unnecessary.
 * Using a Hunter Potion will cause the bound goblin to light up, making him easier to find.
 * If you did find him at one point but managed to lose him for whatever reason, you can use a King Statue to summon him.
 * As with any NPC, his icon appears on the map.
 * While the Goblin Tinkerer can be found in any open area underground, bound NPCs may be easier for players to find in the Dungeon, as it is an expansive and easily navigated underground space.

Trivia

 * As evidenced by some of his quotes, the Goblin Tinkerer has a crush on the Mechanic, and, referenced by some of her quotes, she has a crush on him too.
 * The quote, "Yo, I heard you like rockets and running boots, so I put some rockets in your running boots," is a reference to the "yo dawg" meme.
 * One of his names, "Dalek", may be a reference to the British show Doctor Who. The Daleks are a race of Kaled Mutants inside mechanical shells, and are famed for their advances in technology and ruthlessness.

Quotes

 * "Hey... what's [Name of Mechanic] up to? Have you... have you talked to her, by chance?" (only when the Mechanic is present)
 * "I tried to visit [Name of Stylist] one time. She just looked at me and said 'nope.' (only when the Stylist is present)

During day:
 * "Goblins are very easy to anger. In fact, they'd start a war over cloth!"
 * "To be honest, most goblins aren't exactly rocket scientists. Well, some are."
 * "Do you know why we all carry around these spiked balls? Because I don't."
 * "I just finished my newest creation! This version doesn't explode violently if you breathe on it too hard."
 * "Goblin Thieves aren't very good at their job. They can't even steal from an unlocked chest!"

During Night:
 * "Hey, does your hat need a motor? I think I have a motor that would fit exactly in that hat."
 * "YES, gold is stronger than iron. What are they teaching these humans nowadays?"
 * "You know, that mining helmet-flipper combination was a much better idea on paper."
 * "Yo, I heard you like rockets and running boots, so I put some rockets in your running boots."
 * "Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver."

When Homeless:
 * "I can't believe they tied me up and left me here just for pointing out that they weren't going east!"
 * "Now that I'm an outcast, can I throw away the spiked balls? My pockets hurt."
 * "Looking for a gadgets expert? I'm your goblin!"
 * "Thanks for your help. Now, I have to finish pacing around aimlessly here. I'm sure we'll meet again."
 * "I thought you'd be taller."

When Rescued
 * "Thank you for freeing me, human. I was tied up and left here by the other goblins. You could say that we didn't get along very well."
