The Treasure Goblin is a dungeon-exploring semi-monster who is a new addition to the Diablo gameplay experience. He runs very quickly, dropping gold as he moves, as well as more gold and an items when players hit him. If killed he pops numerous quality items, much like a [[transcendent chest]].

<blue>He'll randomly and rarely appear in dungeons, but when he does you'll want to beat the candy out of him as he'll drop progressively better loot with each hit. Don't let him escape!</blue>

First sighted in the playable demo at [[Blizzcon 2010]], the Treasure Goblin is a small, shiny, loudly-giggling, rat-like humanoid with a huge sack of loot over one shoulder and extremely quick foot speed. He is technically a monster, but he does not attack characters or deal any sort of damage. Instead he is basically a moving, gold-leaking treasure chest, one that drops a constant shower of gold and occasional items, and will drop lots of high quality items if you manage to run him down and kill him.

The Treasure Goblin is a sort of [[Easter Egg]], since he's fun and diverting, and not a danger. The character is reminiscent of the Thief in the arcade classic Gauntlet II, except that he doesn't steal from you, and is purely a fun bonus diversion.
