A combination of hob and goblin, two old names for impish sprites.

Hobgoblins are a fierce humanoid race which enjoy engaging war with other humanoids as well as humans. They are of an intelligent and aggressive race as well as being very organized. They are of the "Orc" race. The typical Hobgoblin stands over 6" ft tall and are burly creatures with enormous strength.

A typical tribe of Hobgoblins have anywhere from 20 to 200 male warriors. They run an almost military society and can be very harsh on those within the tribe who slack or are not as strong.

Most all Hobgoblin lairs are known to be subterranean. Most Hobgoblin villages posses at least two catapults, a ballista and at least two light catapults. Underground complexes of the Hobgoblin are guarded by at least two carnivorous apes.

Hobgoblins are very apt in the mining field. They have the capability to design their own weapons and are very skilled in battle.

In the overall community, Hobgoblins feel superior to Goblins or Orcs and have no problem in engaging in battle with them. Most of the time the Hobgoblins are the primary leaders of the Goblins and Orcs.
