Pepperoni Goblin is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Pepperoni Goblin is a giant red pepperoni slice with skinny arms and legs, balled up fists, and cleat-like feet seen when he kicks. He has a dirty goblin face with a long nose, a toothy grin, pointed ears, and black beady eyes.

Pepperoni Goblin is described as some sort of jock who practices his kicks with anything near him either to show off or make himself feel better.

A robotic variant of Pepperoni Goblin can be found in the form of the Goblinbot.

Behaviour

"This darn goblin kicks anything near him. He will take any opportunity to practice kicks. Jump on him before attacking unless you want to become his next practice ball."
— The manual.

Pepperoni Goblin walks around, kicking the player, giving them Ball transformation, if they approach him.

Trivia

• In Noise's Hardoween, Pepperoni Goblins are colored purple.
• Despite being one of the earliest enemies made for the game, Pepperoni Goblin never made a demo appearance until the SAGE 2019 Demo.
• In the Preearlytestbuild, instead of kicking the player, Pepperoni Goblin would do a little dance, which doubled as his idle animation. The dancing sprite was brought back in the full release as an easter egg, located in the Old Tower secret room in Tower Lobby.
• In Blue Block Land, Pepperoni Goblin doesn't have a kicking animation, instead, it shows its hitbox when approaching it.
• The Pepperoni Goblin Bat, an enemy nearly identical to the Pepperoni Goblin in function, reuses the Pepperoni Goblin's color palette from Noise's Hardoween. This could be a reference to how Pizzascare, the level you find the Pepperoni Goblin Bats in, is a reworked version of its Noise's Hardoween counterpart.
