Hobgoblins are a goblinoid people renowned for their elite training, military tactics, and organizational acumen. Roughly the size of a well-muscled human, a hobgoblin is covered in reddish fur over grayish skin.

Strategic combatants. Hobgoblins have a reputation for valuing physical strength, martial prowess, and skill in battle. Beyond these individual skills, they are inclined toward leadership through strength and cunning.

Goblinoid organizers. Among the goblinoids, hobgoblins are the most likely to claim leadership of mixed groups. They are larger, stronger, and usually more intelligent than their smaller goblin cousins, whom they use as minions and skirmishers. While formidable fighters themselves, in military groups hobgoblins delight in using bugbears as shock troops.
