Tchoup is able to pick up items and keep them in his pockets, while being a master detective. His friend, Stucco, has poor deductive reasoning skills, but makes up for it with superior strength for lifting/climbing. The third goblin, Perluis, can wield magical powers and has a dark sense of humor. Gobliiins 4 mixes elements of adventure and puzzle gaming. In essence, the player must find a solution to each level in order to progress to the next. An original aspect of the series is that players usually control multiple goblins as player characters, using their unique abilities to complete the level.
