Goblins who have been imbued with dark magic of an unknown origin, Hobgoblins are the stuff of children's nightmares. While only slightly larger than their lesser kin, they are more ferocious and bloodthirsty than races ten times their size. Hobgoblins are only available to Goblins via the remort command.

Comments
Only a Goblin can become a Hobgoblin. Stats and casting are similar to goblin, but their stealth and archery are worse. Like Goblins, Hobgoblins suffer a melee damage penalty. As Goblins have a racial spell cost increase of +10%, Hobgoblins are about the same with +10% divine & arcane, +5% psionic. General consensus is that hobgoblins are worse across the board than goblins, with no real useful purpose – so they are played mostly for novelty and flavor.
Hobgoblins are small enough to become fusiliers, however they hit poorly because they have a very poor archery modifier. Their racial berserk will stack with frenzy for purposes of hitting. They are not no-fail, nor do they have good stealth – although, like Goblins, they are small sized and have good dex.
Due to racial evil they cannot become bladedancers.
