There are a lot of similar inks to Goblin, but Monteverde Crocodile is a close one. Click here to see the green inks together.

I used a TWSBI Eco Transparent Green with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I like the color, and the sheen is just right-plenty, but not so much that it takes forever to dry or smears later.
