Goblin engineers are level 3 technical workers attached to the First Floor goblin clan. One engineer drives the first murder dozer encountered by Carl, while a larger workshop group operates steam machinery, maintains vehicles, and constructs a copper chopper for Carl and Donut. Individual engineers should be distinguished from the occupational template. The first engineer wears a pot-like helmet and drives a murder dozer. The System AI gives the template a hostile, misogynistic characterization and claims engineers prioritize female targets. Carl kills this individual with a close-range stomp or head attack while learning how vehicles and drivers are classified. Approximately twenty-five engineers work in the goblin industrial space. Their helmets and tools vary, and the site includes a steam engine, murder dozers, copper choppers, coal, spare parts, and fabrication equipment. The environment presents the clan as a functioning technical community rather than a random monster spawn. Under Rory and Lorelai's authority, engineers use Carl's plans and gathered resources to build a copper chopper with a sidecar for Donut. The vehicle becomes an important early mobility tool. Its construction depends on negotiation, materials, and specialist labor rather than a conventional loot drop. Engineers answer to shamankas and the chieftain and work alongside Bomb Bards. Their labor supports both civilian workshop life and military raids. The same technology that helps Carl can carry goblins toward the llama neighborhood, demonstrating that cooperation does not make the clan a permanent crawler faction. The workshop engineers join or support the assault on the llama drug stockpile. Some may die during the raid, but the text does not enumerate individual outcomes. The First Floor's end removes the setting, while the engineer template remains reusable. Group status is therefore mixed and incompletely documented.
