JACKFRUIT GOBLIN

Sorry, your produce is in another castle- this is the Jackfruit Goblin. One of the biggest creatures of the produce section, it’s started to find its way into grocery stores around the United States, though it originally hails from India and Sri Lanka.

SAMPHIRE GOBLIN

Also known as the “sea asparagus goblin,” this creature hides beneath the ground in rocky, salt-sprayed coastlines along Europe. It will burrow into the ground if it senses any disturbance in its many feelers.

ACKEE GOBLIN

Native to West Africa, this goblin can be found hiding among Jamaican produce markets. It’s eyes are located in its mouth- really giving new meaning to the term “watching what you eat.”

FIDDLEHEAD FERN GOBLIN

This goblin can be hard to find at your local grocery store, but it thrives all over the world. It gets around by furling and unfurling its fronds, and moves somewhat like an orangutan.

GRAPE GOBLIN

This goblin grows an elaborate wrath of grapes on its body, which it wears like a feather boa. When frightened, it scatters some grapes in order to distract predators. (Pictured here is the witch-finger grape variant.)

BUDDHA’S HAND GOBLIN

They say this goblin found enlightenment beneath the bodhi tree, but he merely wandered into the Home and Garden section. Often found dispensing wisdom to other goblins of the produce aisle.

NOPAL GOBLIN

Also known as the “Prickly Pear Goblin,” this species is mostly found in Mexico and in the southwestern United States. Apparently their ears are quite nutritious, which led to them being hunted- despite their prickly defense mechanism.
