Hobgoblins are low-to-medium levelled monsters which hit fairly accurately for their combat level. They come in two variations outside of the God Wars Dungeon, with the level 28 variant usually unarmed and the level 42 variant wielding a spear, although some level 28 hobgoblins found north-east of the Vinery in Hosidius as well as one west of the Crafting Guild wield spears too.

The narrow strip of land alongside the peninsula west of the Crafting Guild, and Tree Gnome Village dungeon (requires a key), contain many level 28 hobgoblins with no level 42 variants present.
