Hob is a creature that resembles a wild dog. He is a maskmaker who originally worked for Jaffa City's theatre, but was banished to Firefrog Mountain when he put Goll magic into his mask. He does not work for anyone; he only works for himself or others who wish to pay him. He first appears in The Mask of Maliban, where he escapes his imprisonment and travels to Tortu, a cesspool of thievery, magic, and tricks. He makes a mask for Maliban (later revealed to be Sparr) that is full of ancient magic. He vanishes at the end of the book. He later appears in Search for the Dragon Ship, where he pretends to be a double agent for Salamandra but betrays her afterward. He then steals her thorn staff and vanishes. He reappears in Escape from Jabar-Loo. His latest appearance was The Lost Empire of Koomb A Hob is a monster appearing in Might and Magic: The Dreamwright and Might and Magic: The Shadowsmith. Hobs come in many shapes and sizes, but the only type specified in the novels are mountain hobs, of which the stonecrush is the heaviest. Nobbon Half-hob, one of Lord Dubiel's lieutenants, had a hob father and a human mother. Varve asked what sane human would want to mate with a hob, but Nobbon explained that "Lord Dubiel is a very persuasive individual, however. Once under his influence, many have found themselves capable of hitherto unthinkable acts." Hob was a very young and powerful member of the Nuke Cult. Despite his age, Hob was a ruthless and violent hoodlum, adept at both hand-to-hand fighting and all firearms, from pistols to 50 cal heavy weapons. As well as his formidable fighting skills, Hob was also an excellent businessman, able to manage and control a sizeable group of people many times his age, and an intelligent thinker. Hob was Galen Grimwrath's squire who swore vengeance against Taliesin for his master's death. His shade ended up corrupted by Mardük's madness and he became the twisted guardian of Xar Daeon who fought against Khasra III during the Second Battle of Vulpengaard Keep. He was eventually banished by Khasra who wielded Morninglight, the sword which had once belonged to Galen. The term “hob” is used quite generally, to refer to a wide variety of intelligent hobgoblins that take a more humanoid form. They are, almost to an individual, selfish, manipulative and ruthless; as many fae things, hobs are lacking in a proper concept of sympathy or compassion. Many of the denizens of the Hedge are animalistic, predatory, cunning and deadly. Hobs embody all of these characteristics in a vaguely humanoid package that lures many unknowing travelers to believe that hobs are, at least, more human than the rest of the Hedge’s citizens. This impression could not be more wrong. Many Goblin Markets are run or manned at least in part by hobs, as their mercenary attitudes often motivate them to organize such establishments. However, they’re notoriously poor in social skills, a fact Hob is one of the main antagonists in the 1990 sci-fi sequel film RoboCop 2. He is portrayed by Gabriel Damon. The Hob is the Stage 1 form of the Hellfire group. Hobs are a kind of faeries, allied with the Winter Court.

n39:abstract

The term “hob” is used quite generally, to refer to a wide variety of intelligent hobgoblins that take a more humanoid form. They are, almost to an individual, selfish, manipulative and ruthless; as many fae things, hobs are lacking in a proper concept of sympathy or compassion. Many of the denizens of the Hedge are animalistic, predatory, cunning and deadly. Hobs embody all of these characteristics in a vaguely humanoid package that lures many unknowing travelers to believe that hobs are, at least, more human than the rest of the Hedge’s citizens. This impression could not be more wrong. Many Goblin Markets are run or manned at least in part by hobs, as their mercenary attitudes often motivate them to organize such establishments. However, they’re notoriously poor in social skills, a fact that may contribute strongly to the raggle-taggle nature of many Hedge markets with hob proprietors. Hobs are the closest thing the Hedge has to an indigenous people, occasionally being found in grumbling pairs who seem to be bonded predominantly because they take great delight in tormenting each other, or in small family units, consisting of a pair or single parent with one or more young. (Changelings remain unsure whether or not this means that hobs are capable of breeding, if their young spontaneously generate from the Hedge or even if they have subjected human children to ugly changes. The hobs don’t talk about it). Most often, however, hobs are encountered singly, although whether this is because the majority prefer solitude (or cannot stand each other’s company) or whether those who are more social are less likely to deal with outsiders is uncertain. Folklore speaks of individuals wandering into the Hedge or “underhill” and encountering entire villages or tribes of goblinlike creatures, but it’s maddeningly difficult to find any evidence of hobs gathering in such numbers as to match these legends. Hobs interactions with others are typically predatory in nature, although hobs’ chosen weapons are barter, negotiation and swindling rather than overt physical attacks. Many hobs are peddlers, merchants or traders, either associated with a particular Goblin Market or nomadic vendors who journey the width and breadth of the Hedge in search of a good bargain. They are notorious for appearing when the Lost are at their most vulnerable and offering the apparent solution to a problem — at an almost (but not quite) impossible price. Hobs prefer negotiations when their victims are over a barrel and have little choice but to pay the exorbitant price. The most dangerous hob is one who appears to be cutting his client a good deal. Some hobs traffic in a particular type of merchandise, where others are opportunists, buying and selling whatever will turn the biggest profit. Profit is a relative term in the Hedge, however. For some, profit is tangible; one hob might deal only in gold or powerful magical items, while another may insist on being paid in iron scrap, police gear, early medieval manuscripts, blood or chocolate. Others deal only in intangibles: dreams, memories, emotions or favors. Whatever the currency, a hob trader will inevitably wring every possible ounce of value out of any particular transition, while protesting all the while about the horrible loss he’s taking on the deal. Hobs are rumored to be able to manifest abilities that mimic Contracts of all sorts — even those normally reserved for a certain Court, although most will deny it vehemently if questioned. Hob was a very young and powerful member of the Nuke Cult. Despite his age, Hob was a ruthless and violent hoodlum, adept at both hand-to-hand fighting and all firearms, from pistols to 50 cal heavy weapons. As well as his formidable fighting skills, Hob was also an excellent businessman, able to manage and control a sizeable group of people many times his age, and an intelligent thinker. He carried a folding UC-M21 submachine-gun, painted blue to make people think it's a child's lunchbox, and a .44 calibre Desert Eagle. On one occasion he used a Browning M2 Aircraft machine gun against RoboCop. Whilst he was a ruthless, violent, perhaps even evil ne'er-do-well, positively egging his comrades on as they dismember RoboCop, he still possessed distant elements of humanity, as demonstrated when bumbling Officer Duffy is eviscerated alive by Cain. Hob could not bring himself to look, and was eventually forced to do so by his mentor. A Hob is a monster appearing in Might and Magic: The Dreamwright and Might and Magic: The Shadowsmith. Hobs come in many shapes and sizes, but the only type specified in the novels are mountain hobs, of which the stonecrush is the heaviest. Hobs are unable to speak the human language, confining themselves to grunts and growls. One thing hobs have in common is that they never build anything for themselves, but they occasionally occupy abandoned houses. According to Hitch, they will keep up appearances as long as they are able in order to lure in unsuspecting travelers, then pounce upon them and tear them to bits with long arms and slashing teeth. Nobbon Half-hob, one of Lord Dubiel's lieutenants, had a hob father and a human mother. Varve asked what sane human would want to mate with a hob, but Nobbon explained that "Lord Dubiel is a very persuasive individual, however. Once under his influence, many have found themselves capable of hitherto unthinkable acts." Hob is a creature that resembles a wild dog.

He later appears in Search for the Dragon Ship, where he pretends to be a double agent for Salamandra but betrays her afterward. He then steals her thorn staff and vanishes. He reappears in Escape from Jabar-Loo. His latest appearance was The Lost Empire of Koomba, when he helps the kids to find a cure for Ungast's possession of Eric. Upon discovering the cure to be fazool, a dangerous potion, Hob, Max, and the kids travel across Koomba to discover the cure. Hobs are a kind of faeries, allied with the Winter Court. The Hob is the Stage 1 form of the Hellfire group. Hob was Galen Grimwrath's squire who swore vengeance against Taliesin for his master's death.
