Hobgoblin

The Hobgoblins are enemies found in Dragon's Dogma. They resemble their smaller goblin cousins, but are about the same size as a human, and just as physically strong. Their intelligence does not seem to have been improved upon, but they do seem to have a higher social standing when next to the smaller goblin kind.

Tactics

 * The same tactics applied to a regular goblins can be applied here. Being that they are tougher though, one should put them on the top of their list when facing a goblin tribe.
 * It is recommended to kill the leader Hobgoblin (the one wearing a Helm or the most armor) as this will cause the other Goblins to become less coordinated in their attacks, thus easier to kill.

Trivia

 * Pawns are always quick to note that "Tis far stronger than a common Goblin", despite them only having 3-4 times the amount of health, which is not very much to begin with.
