Redzskul the OmegaRR Legendary Creature — Goblin Rogue
Protection from instants
Whenever a Goblin you control dies from a source you control, except from being sacrificed, put two 1/1 Red Goblin creature tokens onto the battlefield tapped at end of turn.
1/3
Flavor Text I When Redzskul is the last goblin left alive, I wonder what race he'll master to survive.
Flavor Text II When there's only one goblin left in existence, it'll probably be Redzskul. Almost doesn't matter.
Flavor Text III I wonder who'd win in a fight to the death between him and Squee;...I just got an idea for a new doomsday device.
This was a take on making a Krenko, but actually cool and interactive. Lightly campaigned military reference here. You can send them into the Caltrops; or play the board with Pyroclasm//Tremor. There's a turn layover on the tokens for balance. Still, I think Mirror Box would eat that up.
You will have to rewrite the text if you want this to trigger off effects like Caltrops or Tremors. Neither of those destroy X/1s, they apply the damage to the creature and then the creature is destroyed by a state based effect which is not controlled by players.
Whenever a Goblin you control dies, if it was destroyed or dealt damage this turn by a source you control, put two 1/1 Red Goblin creature tokens onto the battlefield tapped at end of turn.
This also removes the need to add the “sacrifice doesn’t count” clause.

Which krenko? I mean Krenko 1.0 may seem more I play solitarie type of Style but Krenko 2, is much much funnier and rewarding to build up.
Out of curiosity what is your definition of Cool and interactive(mostly this)???
The effect seem strong, if anything too clunky to be worth the effort, (BTW NOBODY WOULD EVER PLAY CLATPROTS, and I'm still trying to figure out what Mirror Box has to do with your card but whatever)
Hmmm... Cool idea. Rowanalpha above me tightened up the wording pretty well. I think it's a little underpowered for what it wants to do, and you'd be fine giving him Hexproof from instants as opposed to protection. I don't really want to step on anyones toes with the flavor since we all have different styles of storytelling we prefer, and there's no objectively "right" way to work in lore, but from what I can glean by your flavor text, this guy seems to exist in a setting where Goblins are teetering on the brink of extinction likely due to a prolonged military conflict of some kind, and so Red Skeleton here, earnestly fearing for the fate of his species, has resorted to desperate life or death blood magic tactics, but is slowly succumbing to addiction to the power such tactics offer. The "I wonder what race he'll master to survive." bit seems to me like he's also got some sort of trickster element to his magic like what they tried (and in my opinion failed) to do with Tibalt on Kaldheim. It would be cool if, in the end, a trusted friend and war counselor betrays and kills him, but too little too late. The region of the goblins is a vast and empty void. Those who remain are reclusive, untrusting, and full of embittered diaspora. Having no culture to call his own remaining this traitor takes up the skull of his former friend now scorched in fire and fashions it into a veil/crown, and looking out over his kingdom of nothingness he hears the voice of his old friend say "...And now you to are my subject." or something like that.

If it doesn't hit the graveyard first, then it doesn't fulfill the 'dies' condition.
Box enables this to exist in multiples.
However, I think it's in good honor to stay true to the creator's original vision if you can.
Introducing someone new (as a protagonist or antagonist) doesn't violate this.
