Goblin Shaman

A magical threat among goblins, wielding dark magic, poisons, and illusions to lead and empower the horde.

The Goblin Shaman is a distinct type of goblin that appears in the world of Goblin Slayer, serving as a magic user and support unit within the goblin hierarchy. These shamans wield dark magic, including spells like 'Sleep', and employ poisons, illusions, and morale-boosting incantations to bolster their kin. They are known to coordinate military forces, heal wounded goblins, and set traps, making them a significant tactical threat. Goblins as a whole use tactics, ambushes, and overwhelming numbers, but the Goblin Shaman stands out for its magical abilities and strategic role.
