Goblin mode is a piece of the American online lexicon that has gained major traction in recent years. The internet continues to throw the term around and many still live in confusion. We can't really tell you what it means when an animal goes "goblin mode." You kind of just know. It can be anything from a subtle devious look, to a full-on explosion of ravenous chaos. Often, watching animals lose their sh-t can feel pretty relatable—sometimes you just need to let loose without giving a single heck.
Fear not! Over the course of the next 10 images, various animals demonstrate going goblin mode. Perhaps goblin mode goes beyond a definition. These images proliferate our understanding of goblin mode, not as a term, but as a way of being. Thanks to the Goblins of Twitter for compiling robust data on animals going goblin mode, and we are here for it.
