Hobgoblins

"Feed and rend / rend and feed / cut their throats / watch them bleed" - a Hobgoblins war-drum chant.

At a Glance


Hobgoblins are the smarter, bigger, and more bloodthirsty cousins to Goblins. Whereas their cousins are known for their mischevious behaviour, Hobgoblins are an all-out menace. Roaming in packs from sixty to six-hundred, Hobgoblins roam The Deeps and The Echoes of Underdark looking to pillage and steal. Sometimes called the "Unchained Children of Torog", Hobgoblins keep their axes and shields in good repair and execute complex tactical strategies that include defending each other in phalanx manuevers. Unafraid of death, the only thing a Hobgoblin truly fears is the dreaded Purple Worm.

History
The origins of Hobgoblins aren't known, only that they are related to their smaller cousins the Goblins. Their actions during the Age of Adventure included the sacking of Hammertask and the destruction of the Korlyuhka Mansion.
