Ancestry: Hobgoblin
Over generations, goblins raised among the fey or in corners of the world affected by their influence become Hobgoblins, the the taller middle between goblin and fey. Oftentimes, a Hobgoblin's larger, stronger build leads to them being raised alongside fey warriors and trained in martial practices. Some Hobgoblins go on to fight in skirmishes between the fey courts, while others might leave the fey to pursue some other personal goal Wherever they are, they continue to channel an aspect of the fey’s rule of reciprocity, which creates a mystical bond between the giver and the receiver of a gift.
Hobgoblins are generally taller than their goblin cousins, standing around 5 to 6 feet tall. Their skin is in pale shades of red. They have curved, pointed ears and noses that turn bright red or blue during displays of emotion. Their hair is black, and their eyes are either yellow or orange.
