Goblins become adults twelve years after birth, but are immortal, only dying to violence or disease. Sieges usually retreat after a certain amount of time and resistance, and remaining enemies will cower away if enough of its evil allies are killed. The sieges will become larger depending on the increasing value of the player's fortress.

The closer the player is to a goblin settlement, the more often they will be attacked, making the game much harder. ![]() Depending on where the player chooses to put their dwarf settlement, the goblin threat varies due to how close they are. ![]() Goblins only exist in evil biomes, and never neutral or good ones. They live in settlements in the form of "dark pits" or dark fortresses. In the original version of the game, or if the classic ASCII graphics option is enabled in the premium version, goblins are represented with a gray "g" in gameplay.
