An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.

The Hobgoblin stands six feet tall, balanced in muscle and agility they are swift, flexible, and extremely well groomed. It is unsure how the first Hobgoblins were made some believe they were formed from the corpses of gods of previous cycles others that they are the greenskin heroes and champions reincarnated. Hobgoblins can reproduce and are unaffected by the Horde mind. They have bright intelligent eyes, shaved black hair, and long hooked noses. Hobgoblins have genetic markers in their skin color and spots which mark them as descendants of a specific Clan, the mixture of skin colors include various shades Reds and Oranges with spots in blue, black, purple, and white. When two different clans breed, they often create a new clan color. 

The Hobgoblin is stronger than it should be, more agile, faster, durable, and able to merge their consciousness with their Clanbloods forming a cohesive force in perfect synchronization. This ability allows them to retain their free will and allowing individuals to break their unified formation when issues arise. Hobgoblins are one of the most intelligent species in the Horde. Hobgoblins are immune to having their forms changed or being enchanted or charmed. 

The Hobgoblins serve as the elite guards of Cyclops, Ogre lords, Generals, Leaders, and the ceremonial guards of buildings of importance. A select number of Hobgoblins are reserved to serve as Haltheris’ personal guard in his divine plane. Some believe they are Haltheris’ celestial servants. 

The Hobgoblins have no real weaknesses but have an intricate culture of intrigue and honor that has entwinned their clans in an eternal blood feud. Many who understand the overwhelming efficiency of war, tactics, and battle believe their focus inwards is all that keeps the Evari empire from conquest. When not fighting the other clans, they are distracted by intrigue, plotting, and the allure of story.
