Yume Nikki:Goblins: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:38, 11 November 2022

The Goblins are NPCs found at the top of a long stairway in the basement of the FC Basement.

Overview

Inside of the FC Basement is a seemingly out-of-place room resembling a castle with clouds above it. Inside this room are the Goblins, blue-skinned creatures with red and green clothing that simply wander around their small area. Four small ones and one large one inhabit the room. They move randomly through the room and ignore Madotsuki if she tries to interact with them. All display the standard reactions to the Cat, Knife, and Stoplight effects.

Something notable about the Goblins is that the small goblins have a 1/4 chance of giving 100 yen when killed (unlike the usual 1/8 chance). The big goblin also has a 1/2 chance of producing 200 yen when killed, though it requires five hits with the Knife effect to kill rather than one.

Trivia

The Goblins bear a striking resemblance to the sprites of King Ogreth from the game Bokosuka Wars. Their larger appearance on the game over screen resembles the larger goblin while their smaller appearance on the game completion screen resembles the smaller goblins.
- As Yume Nikki appears to be inspired by several NES/Famicom games, with Bokosuka Wars having a altered version of the game released on said console in 1985, it's likely this resemblance is intentional.

+Something notable about the Goblins is that the small goblins have a 1/4 chance of giving 100 [[Yume Nikki Wiki:Vending Machine#Yen|yen]] when killed (unlike the usual 1/8 chance).

Notable is that the small goblins have a 1/4 chance of giving 100 [[Vending Machine#Yen|yen]] when killed (unlike the usual 1/8 chance), and it takes five hits to kill the big goblin, with a fifty-fifty chance of producing 200 yen when killed.
