Goblin Ragebait: protocol Edition

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near protocol-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

A goblin tabletop GM, asked to stat protocol, produced a stat block with one ability ('exists ominously'), no listed weaknesses, and a CR of '?'. Their players consider this fair.
