Fruit
Goblin
A tier
Goblin is a lesser-volume named durian clone found in enthusiast and orchard lists—medium fruit, distinctive aril character that growers describe as rich and slightly playful next to sterner bitter kings, and limited commercial branding compared with Monthong or Musang King. Exact flavour swings with soil and harvest timing, as with all clones. Availability is patchy outside specialist seasons. Seek from known orchards rather than generic bulk bins labeled with prestige names. Best plain; use surplus in ice cream if slightly overripe. Treat Goblin as a curiosity-and-quality tasting fruit, not a commodity.
