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. A great way to farm them Is by using a Water Candle or a Battle Potion near the Ocean

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

Trivia

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