4
5	[[folder:Goblin Slayer]]
6	!!!'''Played by Grimmjack'''
7	The eponymous protagonist of the series. A guild member of mysterious origin, Goblin Slayer lives for one simple thing: ''killing'' '''GAAWBLINS'''!
8	----
9	* AdaptationalIntelligence: In some respects, he's far more intelligent than Anime!Goblin Slayer as he has more in depth knowledge about some things beyond goblins like weapon expertise and aspects of other classes like barbarians.
10	** He knows more about magic and supernatural phenomena than Anime!Goblin Slayer and references not only spells but the tiers that they belong to.
11	--->'''Goblin Slayer:''' I mean yeah we could have. But were you holding out on a fourth tier Neutralize Poison spell? You got your god on ''speed-dial'', girlie?!
12	** Knows the skills and abilities of other job classes and is able to comment on them intelligently.
13	--->'''Goblin Slayer:''' (To rookie warrior) Sounds like a classic case of warrior's madness. That's a powerful weapon in a Berserker's toolkit. You ever thought about becoming a barbarian?
14	** He seems to have a pretty decent understanding of biology too.
15	--->'''Goblin Slayer:''' (while strangling the Goblin Champion) While being asphyxiated by a garrote wire, blood flow to the brain and oxygen flow to the lungs is halted. Adrenaline kicks in as a last resort. Your body is dying ''and it knows it''.
16	* AdaptationalJerkass: He is ''much'' more socially aggressive than his canon counterpart. Canon Goblin Slayer could be kind of cold and aloof, but he also had a heart that was visible pretty easily. The abridged version of Goblin Slayer is full-on AxCrazy, always shouts, and is much more openly abrasive about things he doesn't like. {{Play\|ingWithATrope}}ed with later on. Episode 5 reveals his behavior is largely ObfuscatingInsanity, and that when out of armor his behavior is a lot closer to canon, all but saying his more insane demeanor is a means of coping with his trauma while emulating Burglar. He's ''still'' acting like an aggressive nutcase though, which makes him more volatile compared to his canon selves stoicism.
17	** This is also zig-zagged with Cow Girl. He intentionally avoids revealing to her what his actual profession is, coming up with increasingly implausible other jobs he could have to explain his plentiful supply of money. Cow Girl is still carrying some mental trauma from the goblin raid on their hometown, and he's clearly trying to protect her by not bringing up his endless rampage of revenge against the goblins.
18	* AdaptationalVillainy: Goblin Slayer takes ''far'' more pleasure in the slaughter of Goblins, with seemingly no motivation beyond just plain hating them. He also doesn't seem to care who just killed in the crossfire, such as a village he burned down along with a nest of Goblins. However, due to CharacterDevelopment, it's shown in the fourth episode that his reason for hating goblins is very similar to Canon!Goblin Slayer.
19	* AndThenWhat: A variant.[[spoiler: He never counted on being successful at slaying every goblin in existence, and so falls into a spiral of depression when there seems to be no more goblins left to slay, though it's implied that this is only due to him being yet unable to cope with his trauma. He would have started on the road to recovery though, were it not for someone resurrecting the Demon Lord, and in the process spawning more goblins that have Cow Girl's farm in their sights.]]
20	* AssShove: Goblin Slayer keeps his potions in the one place Goblins wouldn't look: his ass. [[spoiler:When High Elf Archer kicked him down the hill in Episode 5, the bottles broke and killed him, requiring a second resurrection spell.]]
21	* AxCrazy: One look at his behavior is enough to tell you just how much he loves killing Goblins. This is somewhat lampshaded, as Goblin Slayer refers to it as "Warrior Madness". Thankfully, he really is only dangerous towards Goblins and nothing else (of course, [[DestructiveSaviour as long as he doesn't cause collateral damage during his escapades]]).
22	* BackFromTheDead: He's killed by the Goblin Champion in episode 4, but a True Resurrection from Sword Maiden gets him back up by the next episode.
23	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: He's still shockingly attractive under his helmet. Spearman lampshades that even his scars look perfectly placed to ''enhance'' his good looks.
24	* BloodKnight: He loves killing goblins. And just about anything else, but mostly goblins.
25	* CallingYourAttacks: He loves calling out his attacks, no matter how mundane they are.
26	* CloudCuckoolander: He is a lunatic who talks to his table, rants almost exclusively about Goblins, and acts like a petulant child when he is forced to take a day off from Goblin slaying due to having died against the Goblin Champion (he was resurrected by Sword Maiden).
27	* DarkAndTroubledPast: As revealed in the fourth episode, Goblin Slayer's motive for hunting down goblins is almost exactly like his canon counterpart: the goblins killed his family and destroyed his village.
28	-->'''Burglar:''' The goblins took your family! The goblins took your ''world!'' How will you make them pay? What will you take from ''THEM?''\
29	'''Goblin Slayer:''' '''''Everything.'''''
30	* DeathByAdaptation: [[DeathIsCheap Not that it lasts]]. [[spoiler:When Archer kicks him over, the potions in his ass break, killing him again. He gets better, though Sword Maiden asks him to not die anymore so they don't run out of priceless gems to use True Resurrection.]]
31	* TheDreaded: [[HorrifyingTheHorror He's a boogeyman dubbed "the Hunter" by the goblins]] that goblin parents tell their children to act in line. The Goblin Lord thought he was just a legend until they finally met.
32	-->'''Goblin Lord:''' I've heard stories of someone like you. A terror that strikes in the day when goblins sleep. Invisible to the eye and nose, they navigate our caves as though they were born in them, and when they strike, entire colonies are wiped out without a trace. I thought you were only a fairy tale but here we are, face-to-face. The elves called you "Orcbolg," the dwarves called you "[[EmbarrassingNickname Shitdick,]]" but we goblins called you...the Hunter.
33	* EmbarrassingNickname: Monkey Kid. Everyone in his home village, including Cow Girl and his own sister, called him that. Cow Girl's uncle still calls him that in the present.
34	* TheFaceless: He almost always wears a face concealing helmet. In the rare instances he doesn't, his face is always conveniently just above the screen or obscured by the foreground.
35	* GenerationXerox: Episode 5 reveals that a lot of his personality is nigh identical to that of his mentor, Burglar, albeit ''slightly'' toned down. It also heavily implies that his emulating of Burglar is a coping mechanism for him to deal with the trauma of losing his home and sister, as outside of his armor and when alone with the Priestess and Sword Maiden, he's a lot more stoic, only going back to "normal" when he puts his armor back on.
36	* GeniusDitz: Inept at anything not related to goblins. A genius related to anything that has to do with goblins.
37	* HomelessHero: Subverted; while everyone ''thinks'' he's homeless, he lives with Cow Girl and her uncle.
38	* HotBlooded: Highlighted in the very first episode, more specifically his speech at the end while he's [[WouldHurtAChild prepping to kill goblin children]].
39	-->'''Goblin Slayer''': I wish I was innocent like you, but I'm ''not.'' I'm full of rage, [[CloudCuckooLander and beans]], '''[[SuddenlyShouting SPIRIT]], PRIDE, AND HEART, AND SOUL, AND RAGE, AND BEANS! SPICY BEANS'''! The only good goblin's a dead goblin, now '''LET'S MAKE THESE GOBLINS GOOD!!!'''
40	* IDidntTellYouBecauseYoudBeUnhappy: He keeps his goblin slaying exploits hidden from Cow Girl in the hopes she can lead a peaceful, goblin-free life. [[spoiler:She points out that not knowing his fate should something happen to him would hurt ''far'' worse]].
41	* IHaveManyNames: Goblin Slayer, Orcbulge, Shitdick, Monkey Kid, Cowboy, Rookie Lancer, Lancer Jr. and the Hunter.
42	* IResembleThatRemark:
43	-->'''Goblin Slayer:''' [[{{Malaproper}} Iced... scream?]] Do they like, scream at ice then eat it?\
44	'''Priestess:''' If that's how they do it, you'd be a pro!\
45	'''Goblin Slayer:''' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!]]'''''
46	* IWorkAlone: Until Priestess runs into him, and the others come to team up with him, he slays goblins alone. It's apparent that he's ostracized by the rest of the guild as a madman constantly screaming about goblins, as opposed to just a weird loner who takes goblins far too seriously. Once Priestess decides to join him and High-Elf Archer, Dwarf Shaman and Lizard Priest enlist his help, though, he takes to teamwork very well, bouncing off of his allies' capabilities very effectively... problem is, he tends to still act like it's a solo show, rarely telling his plans to the party and just [[BatmanGambit expecting them to do exactly as he wants when he wants them to]], and even once claiming the party won a fight because of the power of ''his'' friendship.
47	* JerkassHasAPoint: In Episode 5, he rips into Sword Maiden, calling her pathetic and selfish for calling on him for help when she could have used her dire crocodile familiar to kill the goblins. And if he's here helping Sword Maiden, then someone else is in trouble, without his help. Goblin Slayer ends up bringing her to tears, but Sword Maiden knows that he's right.
48	--> '''Goblin Slayer:''' If I'm not out there killing goblins, some innocent girl might suffer the same fate as you... Or ''worse''. People might die because you lured us here, Sword Maiden. For your own selfish reasons.
49	** He also kills Wizard in a MercyKill, and when Priestess protests that they could have saved her, he concedes that, but he also asks if she was holding out on the 4th-level spell Neutralize Poison in order to do that.
50	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A violently murderous, goblin obsessed maniac who screams at everything, even killing a man just because he wouldn't shut up about ice cream. However, his goblin slaying does at least partially come from wanting to keep others safe from the goblins after his past experiences with them. It's rather notable that he's one of the only guild members who doesn't just hunt glory and money, even if his work is seen by the others as lowly and his personality is abrasive.
51	* MultiMeleeMaster: Even more so than Anime!Goblin Slayer. He is well versed in weapons and the effects of using said weapons, particularly in how damaging and lethal they can be.
52	-->'''Goblin Slayer''': "With a thickness of a club it should be able to cause blunt force trauma to its GAWBLIN-like target. Resulting in concussions, broken bones and muscular damage. It requires nearly no maintenance and every end of it is operational. Meaning that even if it breaks you'll still be able to use it compared to your run of the mill sword. Overall, pretty good and cheap."
53	* NeverGetsDrunk: In stark contrast to [[CantHoldHisLiquor High Elf Archer]], he [[NoSell No-Sells]] [[GargleBlaster the Duergar's Grundle]], with his sole reaction being "It's fine". He even takes another sip to parch his thirst.
54	* ObfuscatingInsanity: Episode 5 reveals that Goblin Slayer is surprisingly much more mature and noble than he lets on, and only acts like a murderous psycho for the sake of appearances and to cope with the trauma of his past. That said, the mental manifestation of his fears and insecurities about goblins taking away everything he loves does manifest as the raving maniac he acts as when his helmet is on.
55	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Stated and implied multiple times by comments from characters about and to Goblin Slayer about his preferred methods of goblin slaying being irresponsible and a massive danger to the people around him and the area he's in on Goblin Slayer's part for him it being both intentionally and incidentally needlessly destructive.
56	-->'''G.S:''' Well, I could take the goblins out easier but '''some''' people think that fire, water, poison, beer, and cheese are completely irresponsible and cause unfathomable destruction on those around me!\
57	'''Elf Archer: Some''' people think that because it's TRUE!!
58	* PrecisionFStrike: Delivers a horrified "[[OhCrap Oh shit]]" upon discovering the [[spoiler:mass of goblin tracks outside Cow Girl's farm]] at the end of Episode 6.
59	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Sword Maiden ''still'' has the nerve to ask him to stay in Water Town with her after she lied to him and the party, he tears into her with a speech that's enough to drive her to tears. ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness With none of his usual sass or sociopathy]]''.
60	-->'''Goblin Slayer:''' ...Hm. Pathetic. A waste of my time. You can turn into a cult-slaying kaiju monstrosity, and you ask for MY help? I do my job for the love of killing goblins, sure. But that's not the only reason. I do it because somewhere out there, a nameless village no one will remember might get burnt to the ground if someone doesn't step in and kill some '''filthy goblins''' before they attack. So that a family with a name no one will remember gets to see another day with their loved ones. You have unlimited resources. You could have asked ANYONE in the world for help. ''You have the God of Justice on speed dial'', and you're trying to guilt trip '''''ME''''' into living with you? If I'm not out there killing goblins, some innocent girl might suffer the same fate as you... Or ''worse''. People might die because you lured us here, Sword Maiden. For your own selfish reasons. I can't believe Priestess looks up to you.
61	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Somehow even moreso than Anime!Goblin Slayer. He won't stop until the entire Goblin race is eradicated, and he couldn't care less about who gets hurt in the crossfire.
62	* SecretlyWealthy: He doesn't actually hide it, but his terrible gear leads everyone to think he's flat broke when he considers hundreds, even thousands, of gold coins chump change. He blurts out accidentally to Priestess that he's got some 55k hidden away.
63	* SingleIssueWonk: If it's not related to killing GAAAWWWBLINS!! then he isn't interested. Priestess only talks him into getting new armor and taking a day off by telling him that it'll be good for killing goblins.
64	** When he first met High Elf Archer, Lizard Priest, and Dwarf Shaman, Goblin Slayer repeatedly blacked out and dreamed about slaying Goblins because they didn't immediately talk about Goblins. Dwarf Shaman had to speak in his "language" (repeatedly saying the word 'goblin') to keep his attention and him awake.
65	* SplitPersonality: When not wearing his helmet, his personality is like that of his [[TheStoic stoic]] canon counterpart. When the helmet is back on (in Episode 5 when doing so he goes from reserved stoicism back to his "normal" levels of screaming literally midsentence), it's back to the usual AxCrazy GS. His inner monologue is that of the insane, armor-wearing Goblin Slayer we normally see arguing with the calm, stoic one. Sane Goblin Slayer is tired, and wants to live a normal life. Crazy Goblin Slayer won't let him, because he's convinced that the moment they take a break, someone's going to die.
66	* TalkativeLoon: When in his armor, he's clearly crazy, and he never shuts up about '''GAAWBLINS!!!''' and how he wants to kill them. Outside of his armor, it's the opposite, being very stoic and sane, and wanting nothing more than to rest. This is revealed to be a full-on SplitPersonality later on.
67	* VerbalTic: He tends to mumble "what the fuck?" whenever he's actually baffled by something.
68	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Somehow both Parodied ''and'' PlayedForDrama. When he tries to tell Priestess that she's far more resourceful and determined than she thinks she is, he accidentally makes himself relive his horrible memories.
69	-->'''Goblin Slayer:''' Once when I was a child, my big sister told me the floor was covered in invisible lava. I stayed up in the trees like a monkey for ''weeks'' on end. People in the village ''made fun of me'', called me "''The Monkey Kid''". [...] But at the end of the day, the joke was on them. A nearby volcano erupted and flooded the village. It'd be '''''real''''' poetic if they hadn't been killed two weeks earlier by a band of '''''FILTHY''''' goblins- [[FreakOut Oh!]] ''[[FreakOut Oh God!]]'' [[FreakOut The memories! I just wanted to comfort you, Priestess, but]] '''''[[FreakOut the memories! They're coming back! Everything I loved died! AUGH!!]]''''' [...] [[MoodWhiplash Anyways, I'd appreciate if you kept these details private]].
70	* WorthlessYellowRocks: Goblin Slayer couldn't care less about money, and casually overpays for rent.
71	* WouldHurtAChild: Is that child a goblin? Yes? The only good goblin is a dead goblin. Ergo, he'll [[DeadlyEuphemism make that goblin child good.]]

74	[[folder:Priestess]]
75	!!!'''Played by [=ChiChi=]'''
76	----
77	* AdaptationalBadass: Since the magic and some gods in this series are based on Pathfinder, her spell list is far larger than in the anime.
78	* BadLiar: Most of the time she's completely honest, with the only time she lies being very obvious.
79	* BadassAdorable: She's a sweet teenage girl who believes in doing good in the world. She'll also tell an ogre casting Fireball at her to go fuck himself without hesitation.
80	* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Priestess may be one of the nicer characters on the show, even she has proven to have her limits.
81	* BreakTheCutie: Just like her anime!counterpart, Priestess's traumatic first quest does a lot to show her just how horrifying life in the Guild can be.
82	* CharacterDevelopment: As the series goes on, she starts to inherit some of Goblin Slayer's pathological goblin hatred, muttering about them in her sleep and calling the ogre a "fuckin GAAAAAWWBLIN" after he brushes her off.
83	* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Part of the reason that Priestess works with Goblin Slayer is that its her duty to supervise the "cataclysmic force of nature that is [Goblin Slayer]".
84	* DeadpanSnarker: Subverted. She really wants to be this trope. Unfortunately, she's just too sweet for it.
85	* FlashbackFail: Her flashbacks tend to be much shorter than the actual conversation. Witch's recounting of Goblin Slayer asking her for a "Magical Squirrel" is boiled down to:
86	-->'''Witch:''' Squirrels! Scrolls! I don't give a fuck! Woooooooo!
87	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's got blonde hair is probably the sweetest character in the series.
88	* HeroWorshipper: Towards Sword Maiden. Turns out that Goblin Slayer is aware of the many HiddenDepths of Sword Maiden -- specifically, that she's SecretlySelfish -- but he keeps up appearances to make sure that Priestess has someone to look up to.
89	* KidHero: Downplayed. She's 15, much to Goblin Slayer's confusion.
90	-->'''Goblin Slayer:''' "15"? ''What the fuck?''
91	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: In Episode 5, she calls on her goddess by saying "It's me, ya priesty girl", clicking her tongue, and winking.
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:High Elf Archer]]
95	!!!'''Played by Joeykat'''
96	----
97	* CantArgueWithElves: Unlike Canon!High Elf, whose abrasiveness is only really due to aggressive youth, Abridged!High Elf genuinely holds the stereotypical "I'm better than you" attitude of elves.
98	* CantHoldHisLiquor: Somehow ''worse'' at taking alcohol than Canon!High Elf.
99	* GloryHound: Not as bad as the other adventurers in this series, but High Elf still desires to go on a "real" adventure and attain some amount of glory out of it. This is the reason why she insists on the rest of the party killing the Beholder in Episode 5.
100	* IJustWantToBeBadass: High Elf would love nothing more than to go on the cool, badass adventures she always dreamt about going and be praised as a hero. Since she's in a party with [[SingleIssueWonk Goblin]] [[AxCrazy Slayer]], that may never happen but [[TheDeterminator damn if she won't try]].
101	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's rude, crass, has a classic case of the CantArgueWithElves mentality, and gets into petty squabbles with Dwarf Shaman. However, she genuinely cares about helping others and admits that the work Goblin Slayer does is more important than she could possibly realize.
102	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Dwarf Shaman. When it looks like they're about to be overwhelmed by Goblins in episode 4, she admits in the most Tsundere way possible that she's enjoyed adventuring with him.
103	* {{Womanchild}}: Despite being over 1000 years old, High Elf can be quite childish when it comes to her interactions with Dwarf Shaman and desperately wanting to go on a "real" adventure.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Dwarf Shaman]]
107	!!!'''Played by Coffinjockey'''
108	----
109	* TheAlcoholic: Declares himself a Practicing Alcoholic.
110	* BombThrowingAnarchist: Implied.
111	-->'''Dwarf Shaman:''' The dwarves make the only beer that can actually get me drunk! Plus... ''[[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment it doubles as an explosive agent. So that's cool too...]]''
112	* DishingOutDirt: He uses earth-based elemental magic in combat.
113	* FatAndProud: When Elf calls him fat, he in turn says he's what the humans refer to as "thicc."
114	* VitriolicBestBuds: With High Elf. He tries desperately to save her when she's swarmed by Goblins, and while he invoked OnlyICanKillHim, he drops all the pretenses when she starts screaming for help.
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Lizard Priest]]
118	!!!'''Played by [=EoD=]'''
119	----
120	* AffablyEvil: Is very jovial and friendly to his party members. Also proudly cannibalizes his deceased family members and uses their remains for necromancy. He'll also do the same to his party members if they die, which he openly states.
121	-->'''Priestess:''' Just so we're clear, necromancy is super evil. You know that, right?
122	-->'''Lizard Priest:''' Mhmm.
123	* CannibalTribe: His family tends to eat the flesh of their own dead kin and he uses their skeletal remains as minions via Necromancy. Elf is disgusted by this, but Dwarf is fine with it.
124	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's somehow even stranger than Goblin Slayer.
125	* HuskyRusskie: At least has the accent of one.
126	* IAmAHumanitarian: He proudly serves the party his great grandfather to celebrate their new friendship. He also openly states he will eat his party members (and use their bones in his magic) if they die. He tried to eat Goblin Slayer after the Goblin Champion killed him, but the others drugged him with "sleepy cheese" and chained him down while Sword Maiden resurrected Goblin Slayer.
127	* MinorInjuryOverreaction: In his debut episode, he says "We're trapped. There is no escape, we will die in here." when Goblin Slayer locks the door behind him. According to Elf Archer, he says this whenever they're behind a locked door.
128	* {{Necromancer}}: Unlike his anime counterpart, who uses bone reagents to cast miracles, abridged!Lizard Priest explicitly uses the body parts of his family.
129	* RedShirt: His necromantic summons are usually used as distractions, usually against his knowledge or intent. Though he's pretty blase about it, only asking if anybody else has another sk-uncle he can use when his own uncle gets blown up with the Beholder.
130	* TokenEvilTeammate: Of the AffablyEvil variety. While he gets along well with the rest of the team, he's an unrepentant cannibal and a practitioner of necromancy, which has been established to be [[MoralEventHorizon "super evil"]]. He also openly claims he'll eat his party members and use their bones in his necromancy should they die.
131	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese, to an obsessive extent.
132	* WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler:He's actually a Gold rank adventurer who keeps turning down promotions so he can stick with his friends]].

136
137	[[folder:Cow Girl]]
138	!!!'''Played by [=KaniDay=]'''
139	----
140	* AdaptationalLateAppearance: She was never mentioned up until episode 5 and doesn't appear until the 6th episode, a far cry from her canon self who appeared much earlier.
141	* CallingTheOldManOut: Cow Girl eventually points out to her uncle that despite him being the owner of the farm, he's not doing as much work as he used to, so she has to pick up the slack on top of cleaning the farm and cooking all the meals. So she should be getting a bit more respect for what she does.
142	* CreepyMonotone: While she mostly just moans when she stares at the two moons and, according to Cow Girl's uncle, "disassociates", whenever she does speak she sounds eerily robotic.
143	* DeclarationOfProtection: To Goblin Slayer's repeated surprise, Cow Girl states it's her job to protect him.
144	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: Subverted. She appeared to be completely ignorant of Goblin Slayer's actual job, however when Goblin Slayer comes clean, she says she's always known but waited for Goblin Slayer to say so himself. Ideally, when their farm ''wasn't'' in danger.]]
145	* SuperStrength: Offhandedly mentions she can lift a two-ton cow with little effort.
146	[[/folder]]
147
148	[[folder:Cow Girl's Uncle]]
149	!!!'''Played by [=NickA_TheVA=]'''
150	----
151	* AdaptationalJerkass: Cow Girl's uncle in the original show was reasonable, patient, and tolerant of Goblin Slayer since he always paid the rent and was both highly protective and concerned for Cow Girl and his farm. This guy is actively trying to get Goblin Slayer to leave the farm by charging him higher and higher rates of rent money and eventually charging him extra for milk and stew.
152	* AwfulWeddedLife: Seemingly one-sided in his favor; he genuinely loved and misses his wife [[spoiler:after she was killed during the goblin attack]], yet seemed pretty unaware that she was miserable throughout their marriage and [[LadyDrunk drank heavily just to numb the feelings]] (''that'' part he is aware of, though).
153	--> '''Cow Girl''': (''monotone'') My aunt said she was going to leave you.\
154	'''Cow Girl's Uncle''': Aaaand she ''did''. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Left us all that day. Rest in peace]].\
155	'''Cow Girl''': [[SureLetsGoWithThat Oh... okay...]]
156	* BrutalHonesty: Poor Raul.
157	--> '''Cow Girl:''' One of you are going to the slaughterhouse tomorrow!\
158	'''Raul:''' MOO?!?\
159	'''Cow Girl:''' Of course, it's not you Raul, you're one of the good boys!\
160	'''Raul:''' Moo.\
161	'''Uncle:''' Cow Girl, you lying to the cows again? T'ain't right! Of course, it's Raul!\
162	'''Raul:''' MMMOOOOO!!!\
163	'''Uncle:''' [[CrossesTheLineTwice Yeah you better be worried, Raul! They're out of the sharp axes! It's gonna take like an hour]]!\
164	'''Raul:''' MMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
165	* CatchPhrase: "T'ain't right."
166	* InsistentTerminology: He won't call Goblin Slayer anything other than "Monkey Kid", despite what Cow Girl tells him.
167	* MovingTheGoalPosts: At first, the increased rent (1 gold per month) was due to a need for higher security. Then GS started being funny and Uncle doubled it (to ''2'' gold per month) for the extra lip. In an attempt to kick him off the farm, he increased it to 10 gold per month (which, to his eternal frustration, GS doubled). Finally, just to spite Goblin Slayer, he made the rent a whooping ''100'' gold per month. Unbeknownst to him, it's all chump change for GS.
168	* RetiredBadass: He apparently used to be an adventurer in his youth. [[spoiler:Cow Girl reveals that he was only an adventurer for three days but [[MilesGloriousus he is convinced he's the greatest adventurer the town has ever known]].]]
169	* SitcomArchNemesis: When he saw a visitor, he was very friendly and offered him a glass of milk and a bowl of stew. Then when it turned out to be Goblin Slayer, he ''immediately'' changed gears from friendly to hostile.
170	* UnderestimatingBadassery: He keeps raising the rent to spite Goblin Slayer, but the latter's modest spending and constant questing (against goblins) means he has tens of thousands of gold to pay him with.
171	* VictoryIsBoring: When he actually manages to convince GS briefly to find a new apartment in the city rather than the farm, he seems disappointed by the fact that victory isn't what he imagined.

174	[[folder:Goblin Slayer's Sister]]
175	!!!'''Played by [=LunaFreya=]'''
176	----
177	* AdaptationalJerkass: Her first appearance has her threatening and insulting young Goblin Slayer, a far cry from [[CoolBigSis her canon personality]].
178	* BigSisterBully: When she was alive, she regularly beat and insulted young Goblin Slayer. She also, at one point according to GS, made him climb up a tree by telling him [[TheGroundIsLava the ground was made of lava]] and didn't stop the villagers from insulting and throwing rocks at him.
179	* ForTheEvulz: She bullied her younger brother mostly out of boredom.
180	* HeroicSacrifice: Despite ''all'' the other tropes listed here, [[PetTheDog she still dies protecting]] [[BigSisterInstinct her younger brother from the goblin horde]].
181	* WouldHurtAChild: Threatens to break young Goblin Slayer's hands if he doesn't shut up, on top of always beating him.
182	[[/folder]]
183
184	[[folder:Burglar]]
185	----
186	* DareToBeBadass: What the audience has heard of him so far amounts to this.
187	* DrillSergeantNasty: Just like in canon he motivates Goblin Slayer by throwing his family's death in his face and screaming at him to do something about it.
188	* KnightOfCerebus: Has no comedic traits whatsoever, and scenes with him in them are played entirely seriously with no jokes in them.
189	* WouldHurtAChild: His motivating mostly amounts to berating a young Goblin Slayer, even throwing a rock at his face.

195	!!!'''[=ManicWednesday=]'''
196	----
197	* AdaptationalJerkass: Guild Girl, who is normally very friendly with all the guild members in canon, is now snarky, overexerted and infuriated by everyone’s blissful ignorance.
198	* DeadpanSnarker: Outside of her "screaming breaks", sarcasm may be the one thing keeping Guild Girl sane in her line of work.
199	* DreamCrushingHandicap: Went on a rant in Episode 6 about her dream of being a concert Pianist, only for her to developing crippling carpal tunnel syndrome from the guild's paperwork.
200	* GoldDigger: Very keen on spending someone else's money on her days off. Gets a date with the Goblin Slayer just to spend ''his'' money during the Harvest Festival. GS is fully aware of her going after his money.
201	* {{Jerkass}}: As stated above, Guild Girl's [[NiceGirl sweet and kind personality]] in canon [[AdaptationalJerkass has clearly not been carried over in this series.]] Then again, if YOU had to deal with a guild filled with arrogant adventurers more concerned with [[GloryHound looking cool]] than doing their jobs and newbie adventurers who are [[TooDumbToLive suicidally overconfident]] and refuse to listen to you, you probably would end up being one, too.
202	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's notably -- if only slightly -- kinder to people like Goblin Slayer and Priestess, likely because they're two of few who actually take their job seriously (or in Goblin Slayer's case, [[KnightTemplar zealously]]). She can actually hold a conversation with Goblin Slayer without much disdain and actively tries to warn Priestess about her [[SoulCrushingDeskJob job]]. It's also implied in Episode 1 that she tries to dissuade [[NaiveNewcomer Naïve Newcomers]] from joining, hinting at some sort of concern for human life.
203	* OnlySaneWoman: For the guild as a whole.
204	* PetTheDog: She's notably kinder to people who ''don't'' want to make her scream, like Priestess. She also goes out of her way to try and warn Priestess about and dissuade her from working with her at her SoulCrushingDeskJob.
205	* SoulCrushingDeskJob: Clearly regards her job as this, as outlined in the rant she gives to Priestess in Episode 6:
206	-->'''Guild Girl:''' You want to shadow me? I work twelve plus hours a day. And during my free time, I cry in my one-bedroom enclosure, while eating ice screams in my lonely single-size bed, while wondering why I didn’t decide to go to the city and live my dreams as a concert pianist – but I remember why, and it’s because of this crippling carpal tunnel that I got from doing all this damn paperwork in this endless, suffocating, soul-crushing dead-end job! You wanna watch that? Up close? '''Of your own volition?!'''
207	* StepfordSmiler: Thanks to her drastic change from a friendly and patient girl to being completely fed up and frustrated 24/7, as her facial expressions are the same as in the original. As such, while she appears all smiles from afar she makes it incredibly clear through her words that she's sick of everybody's shit.

210	[[folder:Spearman]]
211	!!!'''Played by Aaron Robert Parnell'''
212	----
213	* DumbassHasAPoint: For as big an idiot he is, he ''does'' make some good points when acting as a teacher, even if only by accident, like when he tells an unarmored Goblin Slayer that an Adventurer should be able to adapt to their surroundings.
214	* GloryHound: He's more concerned with looking cool than doing a job according to Witch.
215	* IdiotHero: Not the smartest Adventurer around.
216	* MythologyGag: His canon self was already a big CaptainErsatz to Lancer/[[Characters/CelticMythology Cú Chulainn]] from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', but here Aaron Robert Parnell plays him, as Parnell plays Lancer in ''WebVideo/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorksAbridged''. He even says an unarmored Goblin Slayer would make a great "Lancer Jr."
217	* PerpetualPoverty: He was taken aback by Goblin Slayer's rapid agreement to pay him 10 000 gold coins to help him kill the Goblin Horde.
218	-->'''Goblin Slayer:''' Wait, you don't have that much money, and you're a Silver Rank, what the fuck?
219	[[/folder]]
220
221	[[folder:Witch]]
222	!!!'''Played by [=KatastrofreeVA=]'''
223	----
224	* JerkassHasAPoint: While she is more abrasive about it, her advice/warning to Priestess is not exactly wrong. Goblin Slayer ''is'' a man obssesed with goblins.
225	* ThePowerOfHate: Learned how to make a "magic squirrel" out of spite towards Goblin Slayer.
226	* VerbalTicked: Her trademark slow pausing speech is revealed to be an act.
227	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Episodes 2 and 5 give some hints of her being previously associated with Goblin Slayer (Being his companion) but something broke the team.
228	[[/folder]]
229
230	[[folder:Rookie Warrior]]
231	----
232	* TheBerserker: Is revealed to have Warrior's Madness, which Goblin Slayer comments is a powerful tool for Barbarians.
233	* IdiotHero: Not the brightest when it comes to adventuring. Justified because he's a rookie.
234	* SkewedPriorities: He spent a lot of money to get him and Rookie Cleric a theme song... based around their EmbarrassingNickname of Poop Patrol. Cleric isn't very happy with him for this, instead expressing a desire to take up the team name Titanstorm instead.
235	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's terrified of bugs. Too bad a giant cockroach ate his sword.
236	[[/folder]]
237
238	[[folder:Rookie Cleric]]
239	----
240	* StraightMan: Amidst all the madness of the world and Goblin Slayer, she's the one left to express her dismay, disbelief, and distress for comedic effect.
241	[[/folder]]
242
243	[[folder:Sword Maiden]]
244	!!!'''Played by Laikachi'''
245	----
246	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with her {{Familiar}} Linda, the [[spoiler:[[SewerGator dire crocodile]]]]. It's revealed in episode 5 that [[spoiler:she was controlling the crocodile the party encountered, going after them only in an attempt to scare them before going after the group of goblins. However, the sight of the goblins causes her to FreakOut and pass out, which breaks her hold on the crocodile and allows her to go berserk]].
247	* CannotTellAJoke: Is fond of her "Sword Maiden Jokes" which really amounts to her denying being Sword Maiden and saying she can't read a map. That and [[spoiler:pretending to sic [[SewerGator Linda]] on the party for a laugh.]]
248	* DivineIntervention: Goblin Slayer angrily notes that, as a priestess of her experience, she can essentially invoke this whenever she needs to. Considering [[{{TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons}} the apparent inspiration of the source material]], this isn't an exaggeration.
249	* FreakOut: Even when controlling her [[spoiler:monstrous familiar]], the sight of goblins causes her to panic.
250	* TheGadfly: [[spoiler:She thought it'd be a good idea to send Linda to mess with team Goblin Slayer as a Sword Maiden prank, but the sight of the goblins caused her to faint and made Linda take over.]]
251	* SecretlySelfish: Sword Maiden has been not-so-subtly trying to drive a wedge between Priestess and Goblin Slayer because she wants Goblin Slayer for herself. Goblin Slayer is ''anything'' but happy about her bringing him and the others to Water Town for selfish reasons when she could have called on literally anyone else to do the job of killing the goblins in the sewers, particularly since several of his companions very nearly suffered the same ugly fate she herself suffered or worse, as he spells out in his ReasonYouSuckSpeech to her.
252	* [[spoiler:SewerGator: Linda, her familiar.]]
253	* TheStoic: Much of her time onscreen has her speaking in a calm, motherly voice. Even in the few times she was annoyed her voice remained constantly collected.
254	** NotSoStoic: That is until episode 5. After Goblin Slayer [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech lays into her]] as mentioned above, she breaks out into a very much desperate plea to get him to stay, and breaks down crying when it fails and he leaves. Also, in a flashback showing [[spoiler:her [[SewerGator familiar]]]] attacking the group of goblins, it's revealed that [[spoiler:the sight of the goblins drove her into a panic to the point of falling unconscious.]]
255	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:She sent Linda to scare Goblin Slayer and co. as a prank before helping them against the goblins, but she fainted at the sight of the goblins, allowing Linda to take over, trying to kill the party.]]
256	[[/folder]]
257
258	[[folder:TITAN STORM! (A.K.A. Greenhorn Team)]]
259	----
260	* AdaptationDeviation: In Fighter's case, yes; once she gets overpowered by the hobgoblin, his buddies apparently just beat the shit out of her then strip her and steal all her clothes as opposed to... [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil what they do to her in the source material]].
261	* AdaptationalJerkass: In addition to the overconfidence of their canon counterparts, the Abridged version of the Greenhorn Team are also jerks in some way or another. Warrior is especially insufferable, pissing off Wizard and Guild Girl in equal measure and also being quite dismissive of Priestess's concerns about the quest.
262	* DoomedByCanon: Just like the source material, they don't make any real preparations for clearing out a goblin lair. They don't even have a plan beyond "go in and kill them all". Needless to say, mistakes are made, leading to Priestess and Fighter being the only survivors.
263	* IdiotHero: Warrior is the self-styled leader of Titan Storm. He considers Wizard, or "Magic Girl" as he calls her, the "weak link" on the sole basis of not being able to pull a rabbit out of her hat and doesn't know or care about the different kinds of magic (much to Wizard's aggravation), was the one who came up with the name of the team and even has a theme song. He even has a sword he calls "Endbringer" which he relies upon for navigation in the goblins' cave, which promptly gets the team lost. When Endbringer fails him (due to being too long to swing in the cave's narrow tunnels), Warrior promptly gets "Akame Ga Killed".
264	* NeverMyFault: Fighter accuses Priestess for not watching their rear. Fighter and Warrior were the ones to actively rush up ahead without even thinking of Priestess and Wizard being left behind.
265	* PointlessBandAid: Warrior's "bandages" are nothing but Scotch tape that he put on himself primarily to look cool. To no one's surprise, Guild Girl calls him on this.
266	-->'''Warrior:''' As you can see, we can get a little... banged-up every now and then.
267	-->'''Guild Girl:''' That is Scotch tape. You're not wounded.
268	-->'''Warrior:''' Well, I '''would''' have gotten real bandages, but '''someone''' couldn't evoke them for me!
269	-->'''Wizard''' [''starting to get pissed'']: That is '''conjuration''' magic! I am an '''evocation''' mage!
270	-->'''Warrior:''' Can you evoke a shit? Cause I don't '''give''' a shit!
271	* TooDumbToLive: All three of them are so lethally stupid and/or arrogant that Guild Girl flat out tells them she's been giving them easy quests to spare them from dying horribly for ''weeks''. And once they recruit Priestess for the ill-fated goblin hunt, it doesn't even occur to them to '''''bring any healing potions''''' since A: Warrior blew all their money on his sword, Endbringer, and B: they believe Priestess' basic cure spell (a first-level Cure Light Wounds) will be enough for anything worse than a scratch while ignoring that at her current level, she can only use magic three times a day. This ends up getting Wizard killed after she's stabbed with a poisoned dagger, since the spell only closes the wound but doesn't repair any tissue damage or even neutralize the poison.

274	! Monsters
275
276	[[folder:Goblins]]
277	!!!'''Played by '''
278	----
279	* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The only good goblin is a dead goblin. Even their young have a propensity to trick and take advantage of others' innocence, if the Goblin Lord is anything to go by.
280	* AmbiguouslyRelated: A running gag is that Goblin Slayer is unsure whether or not elves are actually a type of goblin. The Goblin Lord states that they aren't, and that he checked.
281	* {{Lunacy}}: Goblin Slayer believes as such. He says that the green of the larger moon manifested into evil, which then manifested into goblins, which then goblinated teleportation and went to Earth to cause chaos.
282	* {{Mook}}s: They're very weak level monsters, usually treated as pests by the other guild members, and Goblin Slayer mows them down by the dozens.
283	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: The series does not show what they do to women in a comedic light despite usually running on RuleOfFunny. The one time it's close to being played for laughs is when Priestess explicitly says that the goblins just ripped off Fighter's clothes [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and did absolutely nothing else]], and even then it's shown pretty seriously when it is happening.
284	* {{Smurfing}}: Goblin Slayer refers to pretty much anything they do as "Goblinating." Oddly enough, he came up with the term as a portmanteau of goblin and exterminating, specifically referring to him exterminating goblins. Later episodes show that it ''is'' a term in goblin culture, according to the Goblin Lord.
285	* TheUnintelligible: Goblins speak in impish growls and gurgles. It's noted that it's rather rare for a goblin to be capable of speech; while the first speaking "goblin" was really an ogre that the group kept misidentifying as a particularly big goblin, the Goblin Lord can speak common. The Goblin Lord's henchgoblins also have some capacity for speech, but only rarely.
286	[[/folder]]
287
288	[[folder:The Ogre]]
289	!!!'''Played by '''
290	----
291	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: The water pressure from the Gate spell severs his fingers, hand, arms and entire lower body. He survives long enough for Goblin Slayer to deal the finishing blow.
292	* KillItWithWater: An unusually realistic variant; Goblin Slayer uses his Gate he linked to the bottom of the ocean to spray the Ogre with so much water the pressure tears his body apart.
293	* LargeHam: He basically ''screams'' everything he says he will do and does.
294	* OhCrap: Has a subdued version of this when he realizes he's about to be cut to ribbons by Goblin Slayer's Gate spell.
295	* UngratefulBastard: When everyone else thinks the Ogre a giant goblin, Priestess meekly tells him that she knows he's not really a goblin. He angrily responds that he doesn't need her "pity" and is on "the top of [his] shit list". Needless to say, [[BewareTheNiceOnes Priestess]] ends up calling him a "[[PrecisionFStrike fuckin]]' goblin" out of spite.
296	[[/folder]]
297
298	[[folder:The Beholder]]
299	!!!'''Played by Coffinjockey'''
300	----
301	* AxCrazy: It has a very clear HairTriggerTemper and attacks anything that comes near it.
302	* BizarreAlienBiology: The pupil on The Beholder's main eye moves above the veins on its eye, as opposed to the eye moving around in a socket. Goblin Slayer thinks this is gross.
303	* CatchPhrase: '''''HELLO?!'''''
304	* CloudCuckooLander: It rambles nonsense to itself, though while it isn't exactly [[WordSaladHumor word salad]], it still barely makes sense. Dwarf Shaman lampshades this by saying that it doesn't look "all there" to him.
305	-->'''Beholder:''' Are there some motherfuckers hiding down the hallway? Come into my field of vision! You guys speak Deep Speech? You immune to fire? I got fire! You still there? Hi? '''''HELLO?!'''''
306	* DoesNotSpeakCommon: It can neither speak nor understand Common.
307	* EldritchAbomination: A very comical take on the being, but it is still one nonetheless.
308	* HairTriggerTemper: If its reaction toward a rock being thrown near it is anything to go off of.
309	-->'''Beholder:''' What the ''fuck'', yo? A ''rock''? You throw a fucking rock at me? Here, here's what I think of your rock. Fuck you! (''WaveMotionGun's the rock'')
310	* LanguageBarrier: It can't understand a thing Goblin Slayer and his crew are saying on the grounds that it only understands and speaks Deep Speech.
311	* NoSell: Subverted, at least by Dwarf's expectations. Beholders should be immune to magic, but he manages to successfully cast Deep Slumber on it and put it to sleep.
312	* SdrawkcabSpeech: This is what Deep Speech is, and it's the only language that The Beholder can understand.
313	* ShownTheirWork: While a little out there, this Beholder acts as Beholders are said to do so in D&D text books; constantly paranoid and overactive, fearing that anything and everything wants to kill it.
314	* SirSwearsALot: It has a propensity to say [[PrecisionFStrike "Fuck"]] or any of its variants every other sentence.
315	* WeaksauceWeakness: If [[CloudCuckooLander anything The Beholder says can be taken at face value]], something as simple as a rock hitting its central eye can kill it.
316	[[/folder]]
317
318	[[folder:The Goblin Lord]]
319	----
320	* AdaptationalBadass: In the original series, Goblin Slayer was merely distracting him so Priestess could trap him for an easy kill. Not so here; GS was legitimately trying to win, and Goblin Lord damn near ''killed'' him.
321	* AdaptationalIntelligence: Here, he can talk, which is more than his original self could do.
322	* BadBoss: Responds to Bandana Goblin insulting him by squashing him. Later, when his plans fall apart, he just sends all his men to die while he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs back to his cave]].
323	* CombatPragmatist: He feigned learning his lesson and asking for a second chance back when he was a child, and averted death and killed an adventurer for it. He tries it again against Priestess, but she's learnt that the only good goblin is a dead goblin.
324	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely cares for his wolf pack, having raised them each himself. He's devastated to learn they've been killed raiding the farm.
325	* GeneralFailure: Played with. His tactics during the farm siege could actually have been effective under normal circumstances, but unfortunately for him he's up against [[CrazyPrepared Goblin Slayer]], who is able to direct the other Adventurers into countering whatever the Lord throws at them.
326	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: He's the smartest of the goblins, which really isn't saying much.
327	* LargeHam: Always speaks in a loud, bombastic manner, especially when rallying his troops.
328	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Like Goblin Slayer, he had to check that Elves weren't a type of goblin.
329	[[/folder]]
330
331	[[folder:The Mad Mage]]
332	----
333	* LawyerFriendlyCameo: From his title, his picture, and the fact that GS and HEA reach his dungeon through the Yawning Portal Tavern, the Mad Mage is clearly [[TabletopGame/WaterdeepDungeonOfTheMadMage Halastar Blackcloak]] from the [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Forgotten Realms]], but, true to the abridged series' source material, goes unnamed.
334	* OriginalGeneration: He was created for the Adventure Time! short and does not exist in the main series.
335	* TheUnfought: Normally, adventurers faced him in groups of two or three, making them easy pickings for him, but rather recently an entire horde of adventurers showed up and swarmed him. By the time HEA and GS get there, all that's left in his dungeon is the Goblin Lich.
336	[[/folder]]
337
338	[[folder:Goblin Lich]]
339	----
340	* OriginalGeneration: Like the Mad Mage, he was created for the Adventure Time! short.
341	* OurLichesAreDifferent: A goblin lich specifically. He has a phylactery that grants him resurrective immortality, but he pleads that it be removed before Goblin Slayer can torture him.
