History: These beings were intermittently noticed throughout Yaralon's history by those that explore fractures. However, on Saun 37, 718, the Goblin Sanctuary's fracture opened up within the city. Since then, it has been one of the preferred fractures to use for those who are just beginning to explore fractures. No one has learned how to communicate with the Hobgoblins yet, nor does it seem as though any have tried. So far, the only contact any have had with the species has been one of conflict and death.

Appearance: Hobgoblins are a strange mutation of the regular Goblins. They are born the same size, but are often hairy, the only indication of being different from goblins. As they grow, they grow much bigger, more muscular, covered in fur, with longer claws and fangs.

Habitat: They only live in the Goblin Sanctuary Fracture located in Yaralon.

Lifespan and Development: Hobgoblins are unable to reproduce among their own kind, instead being born as mutations of standard goblins, despite Hobgoblins having standard genitals. They take roughly four arcs to achieve full size. Hobgoblins, while in their fracture or other parts of Emea, have an endless lifespan. But when in Idalos, only live for 15 arcs before dying of old age.

Diet: Hobgoblins are incredibly voracious, able to eat most Idalosian and Emean plants and animals. They especially enjoy the taste of people or creatures that have been touched by ether (divine or domain).

Temperament: Hobgoblins are incredibly territorial, viewing any being that comes into their area as an extremely hostile threat. They will swarm en masse to try and overwhelm the intruders. The males and females are equally aggressive. Hobgoblins are a warring species, still apart of the tribes and villages they are born into, constantly used in the war against the others.

Abilities: Hobgoblins are completely immune to all forms of toxins and poisons, regardless of make, design, etc.

Hobgoblins are able to smell any use of ether (divine or domain), sparks, Immortal Marks, Mortalborn, and other such Emean touched things for several hundred yards. This smell tends to put them into a hunger frenzy, and often causes a swarm.

Hobgoblins are able to eat any flora or fauna, regardless of its origin or make.

Hobgoblins have a loud roar that can disable any person with Competent or lower Endurance for up to three seconds.

Additional: The heart of each Hobgoblin is a Raw Dreamstone or a Raw Nightmare Well.
