Physical features

The king of kings is often depicted as a furry Tyrannosaurus, a black fur covereing his pink hide.Large fangs protude from his lower jaw and heads dangle from a collar around his neck.  

History

After the Nexus overload, and the flow of magic in Toriel, many creatures were impacted by this, including the goblins. Bane, seeing a spark of intelligence in the evolution of certain goblin tribes, blessed them with a new form. In the process, he also transmitted his will to conquer to those new goblins, which were later called hobgoblins.
