Hobgoblins as smaller but smarter and more organized orcs is a concept that's very specific to FR. Your best chance is NWN or BG mods, because even if some niche roguelike has a "hobgoblin" race, chances are it will be far removed from your idea of it. But if it's the "fantasy mongols" vibe you're interested in, that might broaden the scope considerably, so specify.

As with many mythological creatures, it doesn't really refer to a single well-defined creature as much as a general type of creatures. Goblins were small, mischievous spirits or fairies. "Hob" refers to household spirits. So Hobgoblins are Goblins who live in or near people's homes and are generally benevolent as long as you don't do anything to offend them.

In D&D, which seems to be what the OP is referring to judging from his picture, Hobgoblins are completely different. They're still related to Goblins, but they're an entirely separate subspecies that's bigger, stronger and smarter. They have a highly organized and militarized society compared to the Goblins' chaotic tribes, but they're still evil creatures.

Don't play "Tales of Androginy". You will die.

D&D got it from Tolkien's preface to "The Hobbit."
>'Orc' is not an English word. It occurs in one or two places but is usually translated 'goblin' (or 'hobgoblin' for the larger kinds).

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
