If anything, Hobgoblins can make some pretty good beer, making them good potential buddies with dwarven player characters. Think about bringing a few of these to your next game, but get that Diet Coke horseshit out of here.
Tougher than Goblins, smarter than Bugbears, they're the Lawful Evil to Goblin's Neutral and Bugbear's Chaotic. Usually considered militaristic and malevolent, but often overlooked as cannon fodder like their smaller Goblin cousins, Hobgoblins can prove to be interesting and formidable enemies to a group of player characters, and have the capacity to be pretty badass if you want them to be. To quote the Daily Bestiary blog: "Orcs may have hordes, but Hobgoblins have armies."
Physically, Hobgoblins are built similarly to orcs, or maybe an NFL linebacker; but range from rust to amber in color and sometimes have blueish purple noses or ears which is kind of cool I guess.
