==== Hobgoblins ====
Hobgoblins, or "Hobs", are Goblins who undergo what is described as a "sudden growth spurt" that makes them about as tall as a Human, while also increasing their physical strength greatly.<ref name="2.14G" /> Hobgoblins can be twice as thick as a grown Human, using the extra body mass to protect their inner organs from being damaged when struck. These Hobgoblins, though appearing outwardly fat, are quite fit and are not unduly hindered by their added weight. Not every Hobgoblin tends toward this weight gain, however.
Hobgoblins are supposed to be what grown Goblins are, though the transformation can happen "when they are ready or needed".<ref name=":7" /> Hobgoblins have been remarked on not being adult Goblins, just what a Goblin becomes when they have something important to do.<ref>{{VERef|10.24 E}}</ref> Malnutrition can hinder the transformation.<ref name=":11">{{VERef|10.34 MGF}}</ref> Tribes that are dominated by other species, such as [[Raskghar]] or [[Ogres]], will manifest few if any Hobgoblins.
