Goblinoid Overview 

In bygone times the goblinoids were distinct from one another, with separate faiths and different customs. Then Maglubiyet came and conquered all who stood before him...mighty Khurgorbaeyag, ...Hruggek, and...Nomog-Geaya... Goblins, the bugbears, and the hobgoblins ... are, first of all, followers of Maglubiyet.

...Goblins, bugbears, and hobgoblins are as different as halflings, dwarves, and elves. Each race has its own tendencies, outlook, culture, and gods. But Maglubiyet's hand joins them together... When one kind of goblinoid encounters another kind, the two groups don't see one another as strangers or foes. Instead they know that by the fact of their meeting alone, Maglubiyet has commanded them to come together. They know the time has come to form a host.

Goblins: Goblins are the smallest and weakest of the goblinoid races. Like all goblinoids, they are cruel. Goblins tend to hold the lowest ranks of any goblinoid organization, being physically dominated by the larger goblinoids. While weak they are devious and the most numerous of the goblinoids.

Bugbears: Bugbears are the largest, but least civilized (and perhaps the least intelligent) of the goblinoids.

Hobgoblins: Hobgoblins are the most militaristic and organized of the goblinoids. They are usually the leaders of the goblinoids, utilizing both intelligence and physical might to bring the other goblinoids in line. They often act as mercenaries to other species.
