"They break before our shields,
They fall beneath our blades,
Their home is ours to conquer,
Their children are our slaves!
Acheron! Acheron!
Victory is ours!"
-Hobgoblin War Chant
War horns sound, stones fly from catapults, and the thunder of a thousand booted feet echoes across the land as Hobgoblins march to battle. Across the borderlands of civilization, settlements and settlers must contend with these aggressive humanoids, whose thirst for conquest is never satisfied.
Physical Description
Hobgoblins have dark orange or red-orange skin and hair ranging from dark red-brown to dark gray. Yellow or dark brown eyes peer out beneath their beetling brows, and their wide mouths sport sharp and yellowed teeth. A male Hobgoblin might have a large blue or red nose, which symbolizes virility and power among Goblinkin. Hobgoblins can live as long as Humans, though their culture of warfare and battle means that few do.
Hobgoblins belong to a family of creatures called goblinoids. They are often found lording over their cousins, the smaller
Goblins and the ferocious
Bugbears.
