Hobgoblins are stronger versions of goblins. They can be aggressive to lower-level players, especially when several are in the area. Level 42 Hobgoblins wield spears, although one of the level 28 Hobgoblins near the Crafting guild wields a spear as well. They are good monsters to train on, mainly because they give good free-to-play drops for a low-level creature. They are well known for dropping Limpwurt roots which are used in the creation of Strength potions. They also reside in the God Wars Dungeon. If killed in the God Wars Dungeon they will count as a kill of Bandos.
In the quest Fur 'n' Seek, its skin must be collected and cleaned for the Odd Old Man.

[edit] Characteristics and history
Hobgoblins are a crossbreed between Goblins and Orks. Hobgoblins may not be as tenacious as goblins, or as strong as orks, but a hobgoblin's strength generally exceeds that of a goblin significantly. During the Third age, Bandos used them extensively in battle. After the God Wars, they were left leaderless and now mainly live in desolate areas or caves, uncivilized. They give approximately 116 exp points.
Hobgoblins chew Limpwurt roots, which explains why they drop many of them.

[edit] Trivia
- In mythology, Hobgoblins are intelligent and helpful versions of goblins. In the game, it is quite the opposite.
- As of 23 September 2009, Hobgoblins received a graphical makeover. Their revenant counterparts received one too.
