The Rainbow Goblin (or RG) is a rarely-seen, rainbow-colored version of the [[Treasure Goblin]]. Rainbow goblins drop gold and items and behave exactly as a normal Goblin does. Their special attribute is a random chance to create a rainbow portal when they die, which lets players enter [[Whimsydale]], a special version of the [[Whimyshire]] secret [[easter egg ]] level.
Whimsydale is exactly the same as Whimsyshire in content and appearance; the names differ since it's not the same area and thus a player can enter the Rainbow Portal '''''and''''' enter Whimsyshire in the normal way, through the rainbow pit outside of Old Tristram in Act Onesame game.
* See the [[rainbows]] article for a short history of the [[Art Controversy]] and the Rainbow meme in Diablo 3, which inspired Whimsyshire and later, the Rainbow Goblin.

Rainbow Goblins are the rarest type of much rarer than normal Treasure GoblinGoblins, and can only open a rainbow portal, never a golden portal to [[Greed's Domain]]. Their chance to open a Rainbow Portal upon death is random, and not increased by letting the Goblin live for longer, or killing it while it is standing with the escape portal already open.
Like all Treasure Goblin types, Rainbow Goblins are classified as [[Demons, ]] and the are [[Elites]], and will thus take additional damage from items with bonuses to Demon or Elite damage. They will also refresh buffs triggered by killing Elites, such as the [[Bane of the Powerful]] legendary gem.
Rainbow Goblins drop exactly like normal Treasure Goblins, leaking gold and occasional items as they run, and then a loot fountain of gold, items, gems, and materials upon death. They very rarely produce a legendary item, but are good sources of rare items, crafting materials, and gems.
