- This article is about the cactus-like enemy from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and should not be confused with Gobchomplin.
Gobblin is an enemy found in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, first encountered in Stage 1 of Rock Star. It is mostly invulnerable, and serves as a stage hazard. However, Kirby can defeat it by inhaling its head when it lunges into the foreground. Its English name is a pun on "goblin" and "gobbling".
Gobblin resembles a cactus, with a thorny body and a head like an alligator. It sits in place and wobbles about, waiting for Kirby to approach. Then it will lurch into the foreground and attempt to bite Kirby.
