Blizzard and Nintendo are teaming up for a new amiibo that’s compatible with Diablo 3: Eternal Collection, which comes to Nintendo Switch this week. On Twitter, Blizzard revealed the Loot Goblin amiibo, which is coming this December exclusively to GameStop for $15.99.

It’s not exactly clear what the Loot Goblin amiibo does just yet. The amiibo’s description at GameStop.com says that it “opens up a portal in game” and promises that more details will follow. In Diablo 3, treasure goblins will randomly appear in the world, dropping gold and other items (gems, crafting materials), depending on the type of goblin. Those goblins will open up portals to escape from the player if they don’t kill him in time. One type of goblin opens a portal that players can enter to access a secret area.
