Hobgoblins are larger relatives of Goblins. They are almost as aggressive as Orcs and quicker, but not quite as effective in combat. They are proficient, if crude, metal workers and often live amongst other goblinoid creatures as smiths or miners, acting as leaders for purposes of defence and when conducting raids. Like Orcs, they love slaughter, preferring to slay captives in individual combat rather than by slow torture, as is customary amongst other goblinoids. Hobgoblins speak the common Goblin tongue.

Physique[]

Hobgoblins are the second largest of the goblinoid races, often reaching six feet in height and occasionally nearing seven. They resemble Humans more closely than an Orc or Goblin, although their faces are extremely ugly to human eyes. Their leathery, blemished skin is usually a deep yellowish brown and, unlike most goblinoids, they have a full head of black hair.

Alignment[]

Evil.

Psychological Traits[]

Hobgoblins are subject to both frenzy and to animosity towards other goblinoids.

Special Rules[]

Hobgoblins have Night Vision to a range of 10 yards.
