"Independent-type creature. While inexpensive, the Hobgoblin will not last long in combat. The gas it expels can give creatures a poison effect."

Monster Profile

"This humanoid is native to the Plains of Rowahl. Hobgoblins live in small villages. They are not particularly powerful, and should give you little trouble unless you are careless."
