The Goblin's design is created in the likeness of the [[Forerunner]]s' "pre-ascension" form, as popularized by famous Unggoy theologian [[Ang'napnap the Enlightened]]. The Goblin combines exotic engineering acumen, [[Covenant]] manufacturing technology allowing the battlesuit to be automatically assembled, and a user interface design built specifically for Unggoy operators. Personnel of the [[United Nations Space Command]] agree that a single Goblin is a greater threat than an entire combat [[lance]] of unsuited Unggoy, albeit a little less dangerous than a [[File (unit)|file]]. | The Goblin's design is created in the likeness of the [[Forerunner]]s' "pre-ascension" form, as popularized by famous Unggoy theologian [[Ang'napnap the Enlightened]].

The Needler can also be utilized as a multiple-launch system, capable of firing a barrage of [[blamite]] shards that can target up to eight different hostiles. This feature is powered by a device attached to the Goblin's backside and is disabled when the device is removed or destroyed. Accompanying the power device is a [[Shardstorm launcher]], capable of firing entire clouds of blamite needles.{{Ref/Reuse|buzz}} As a backup weapon, the Goblin is armed with a [[grenade launcher]].{{Ref/Reuse|polygon}} | ||
