Understanding Hobgoblins and Goblins

Hobgoblins are a type of goblin known for their dark, shaggy hair and resemblance to brownies. While goblins are often malicious, hobgoblins prefer practical jokes and tend to have good relationships with humans. Similar creatures include the Knocker, a goblin that lives in mines and befriends miners, and the Phooka, a hobgoblin-like dark horse. Another goblin called the Bogey is nearly impossible to kill due to its small size.
