Operational history[edit]

"Who's a big bad Grunt? I'm a big bad Grunt!"

— A Goblin pilot on Installation 00.^[2]

During the UNSC Spirit of Fire and the Banished's stalemate on Installation 00 in 2559 Yapyap the Destroyer used at least three Eklon'Dal Workshop Goblins during his rebellion against Atriox.^[3]

Design Details[edit]

Eklon'Dal Workshop Goblins were manufactured by Eklon War-Forges and developed the Eklon'dal workshop.^[4]

Trivia[edit]

In Halo Wars 2, the Blitz card for the Goblin shows one of the Goblins with the name "Andy" written on the bottom of its foot. This is likely a reference to Pixar's Toy Story, where many of the toys owned by Andy have his name written on the bottoms of their feet.
