Useful Info
Hobgoblins are one of the weakest monsters in the game, but are still a threat to XL1 characters. A hobgoblin with a club or other weapon can sometimes take down the less powerful starting characters in a fair fight. They are found in the very earliest portions of the Dungeon.
Tips & Tricks
Hobgoblins are susceptible to simple tactics: soften them up at a distance using missiles; or, if you're very low on HP and adjacent to one, pillar-dance.
As they use to pick up any items as longs as you haven't seen it, don't ignore them: they could have something (jewellery, weapons, armour) you'd want to have found.
