Hobo-Goblins are the unfortunates of Goblin society. They are migratory workers or homeless vagabonds, often penniless. The term originated in Western (possibly Northwestern) United States during- HANG ON A MINUTE!There is no such thing as a hobo-goblin... If you meant the smaller British derived mutation of the goblin, the 'Hobgoblin', then they're little different from their cousins. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Well what you call hobo goblin, we call hob goblin. But I have heard a man referee to as a hobo goblin, because he was a man supposedly driven so insane by these creatures, he imitated oneand was kicked out by his landlord. But, this is a story I made up and supposedly you just made a typo or wasn't educated enough by the page. Hob goblins are derivative goblins seen as more malevolent goblins commonly tricking travellers into there dwellings to murder them. They then eat them. It is.advisable that one tryst to not associate themselves with them because they are rather dangerous.

HOB-goblins more malevolent???!!??Uh, try again. Hobgoblins tend to be freindly, for the most part. They were said to do household chores at night while the homeowners were sleeping, for a reward of milk and/or a thick peice of buttered bread and/or a bowl of porrige. Hobgoblins are from English legend but are said to be related to the Scottish brownie, as well. (Brownies actually ARE a type of goblin). They MIGHT become surrly if insulted, and possibly change into what is called a Boggart (no relation to Humphery and pronounced BOG-ART) and go on some not-so-small rampages. Never heared of them actually killing anyone, though. It sounds like you got that idea of "mean hobgoblins" from Tolkien who admitted he had gotten it all backwards. GOBLINS tend to be malevolent but not HOBGOBLINS. Personaly, for a goblin goblin, I'm known as a pretty nice guy, though. (usually) Grim the Goblin. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |
