Hobgoblins are small creatures who can be found pottering about in forests, they are almost certainly the product of some devious magical experimentation. They are rather cowardly, although in groups they have been known to raid and take over nearby villages. Hobgoblins are inherently social creatures, and will settle down given a chance (and a few huts nearby). They are also very likely to want to trade items they have scavenged. is a material that Hobgoblins value more than gold and jewels, they have a knack of finding small deposits of the stuff when digging, and they alone know how to smelt it into a useable metal. In addition to forming useful trading partnerships, a less scrupulous individual, may find that using a leash on a hobgoblin inclines them to perform more menial work. Such as picking up dropped items, and placing them into nearby chests. Also giving a leashed Hobgoblin a pickaxe, will force them to start digging (with the chance of discovering deposits of Koboldite Dust). Hobgoblins are also known to worship their gods: Mog and Gulg. An ingenious witch (or warlock) may find ways of exploiting this power to their own ends using a Statue of Hobgoblin Patron to boost their Mystic Branch power. Care must be taken when doing this, in order to not attract the attention of Mog and Gulg themselves. |
