The '''Gleeful grublin''' is a recurring monster in the series, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest XI}}. It is a devious, yellow-skinned goblin-like creature armed with a sword and shield.

==Characteristics==
Gleeful grublins are [[Humanoid family|humanoid]] creatures with yellowish-orange skin that are roughly the size of children. They have long, pointed ears, a short pair of horns on top of their round heads, red eyes with tiny black pupils, and mouths agape to show off their sharp teeth, giving them a crazed expression. The grublins carry chipped swords in their right hands and bucklers strapped to their offhands, their armour consisting of simple metallic breastplates with pauldrons and faulds attached, all made of gold. Like their weaker kin, the gleeful grublins can work themselves into a rage in battle and perform combination attacks when they call for backup from more of their kind. Some gleeful grublins take to the sky on honeybee mounts.

==Trivia==
*The gleeful grublin's Japanese name, ヨロコボルト (''Yorokoboruto''), is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Kobold|kobold]], a mischievous creature from Germanic folklore and mythology. Some types of kobolds were usually invisible spirits that could materialize as an object or human, often a small child. Another common depiction of kobolds were as household spirits that lived in human homes and performed domestic duties, but could play malicious tricks if they were neglected or insulted. The term kobold has also become interchangeable with goblin in modern literature and depictions.
