Goblin Scout

The Goblin Scout is an uncommon surface enemy. It looks like Goblin Invasion enemies, but spawns outside that event 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 and will only spawn during the day.

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

Tips

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