In Diablo 4 there are many enemies that can kill you quickly or unexpectedly. Actually, the treasure goblin is not one of them. However, due to a bug, suddenly appearing treasure goblins are the surprising end for many players.
What are treasure goblins? Actually, as a player in Diablo 4, you are happy about the treasure goblins. They can spawn randomly and drop a large amount of loot upon defeat. They don’t really fight back but try to flee from you. If you are too slow, they disappear through a portal.
As we reported, a hardcore player died to such a goblin. He easily killed the enemy, but the ability Death Pulse
thwarted his plans. This ability spawns a lightning field on the ground that deals damage.
The level 85 sorceress of the streamer died immediately, and he had no chance to react. Due to the hardcore mode he was playing, his highly advanced character was lost forever. You can learn more about it here:

What does Blizzard say about it? As Kotaku reports, it is indeed a bug and Blizzard is aware of the issue. The error is supposed to be fixed in one of the upcoming patches before the start of the first season.
On the other hand, there is probably the most dangerous enemy in Diablo 4. The Butcher is actually a dangerous encounter, but players can trick the boss easily:
