I just ran into a giant purple treasure goblin named Snitchy. I thought the resent nerf to purple mobs wasn't supposed to affect named goblins but it certainly did. He dropped a single uncommon item. Pretty weak.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to post this, and I plan on passing this feedback along to see what the developers have to say about it. On one hand Snitchley is a rare unique monster (and unique monsters aren't designed to drop the extra loot a Treasure Goblin is), but on the other hand he is a Treasure Goblin. Thanks again, and good luck hunting in Sanctuary!

Ok, I have some additional information to share about Snitchley. As you may already know there was a recent change to unique monsters so that they now drop the same treasure that elites and champions do. However, this change was not intended to affect the unique Treasure Pygmies that you sometimes find, and that's exactly how it's currently working.

Snitchley is a little different, though. He's a named unique monster, and is currently dropping the same appropriate treasure as other unique/elite/champion monsters. We're passing along your feedback about his loot, though, and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about it with us.
