Hobgoblin
A large armored goblinoid standing nearly the height of a human.
Unlike its smaller goblin cousins, this hobgoblin carries itself with rigid military discipline. It wears battered but functional plate and carries a tower shield alongside a short sword. Hobgoblins organize into warbands and hold fortified positions with grim efficiency -- these are not mindless brutes but drilled soldiers of a sort.

- Notes
- Tankier and more defensively capable than base goblins. Shield Bash stun creates brief windows for hobgoblin ally follow-up. Guard Stance used as last resort when low on HP. Pairs well with Hobgoblin Captains who extend the call_for_help chain.
