Do you know what a hobgoblin is?
A nice goblin. A brownie who does your housework for you, or little people who make shoes in your shop while you're asleep. Its a beneficial faerie rther than one out to screw you. A hobbit would be the closest example in modern fantasy fiction.
But for some reason, in RPGs, hobgoblin inevitably means a "bigger, meaner goblin". The halfway point between goblins and orcs. Why? Just one of many such ridiculous reinterpretations of folklore that serves no good purpose from Gygaxian era D&D.
