Hobgoblin is a larger, stronger, smarter, and more menacing form of goblinoids than goblins, but not as powerful as bugbears. Hobgoblins are rarely found in communities where they are not in command of either goblins or bugbears, or sometimes both, and the most civilized goblinoid communities are ruled by the race. This is in large part because hobgoblin society is more industrious and less savage than that of goblins or bugbears. Hobgoblins are immensely protective of their tribe's reputation and military status, so much so that meetings between different groups can turn violent if proper protocol is not followed. However, though hobgoblin tribes are territorial and egotistical they will often unite for a common purpose, such as war against non-goblinoids.
