'''Hobgoblins''' are [[:Category:Undead|undead]] enemies that inhabit [[Kero Sewers]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Their name refers to {{wp|hobgoblin|a type of household spirit in English folklore}}, which would pull pranks on citizens and do work around the house. They wear ragged clothing and carry lanterns, making them resemble the [[Lantern Ghost]]s from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Hobgoblins also slightly resemble scarecrows. These enemies never fight by themselves; they always accompany other enemies like [[Rat Funk]]s, [[Boo]] or [[Shadow]].

'''Hobgoblins''' are [[undead]] ghouls that inhabit [[Kero Sewers]] in the game ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They wear ragged clothing and carry lanterns, making them resemble the [[Lantern Ghost]]s from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Hobgoblins also slightly resemble [[Scarecrow]]s. These ghouls never fight by themselves; they always accompany other monsters in battle.  These monsters include [[Rat Funk]], [[The Big Boo]], and [[Shadow]] (who only appears alongside The Big Boo).  Hobgoblins also always fight in groups of three.


In battle, Hobgoblins attack by clawing their opponents. Additionally, Hobgoblins can use a number of magic spells that cause status ailments. One such attack is [[Dark Claw]], which [[Poison (status effect)|Poisons]] one of [[Mario]]'s allies and causes 50% more damage than their normal claw attack. The other is [[Elegy]], which [[Mute (status effect)|Mute]]s a party member, making them unable to perform special attacks. Since they are undead, Hobgoblins can be instantly destroyed with [[Pure Water]].

Since they are undead, Hobgoblins can be instantly destroyed with [[Pure Water]].  Conincidentally, Hobgoblins also randomly drop Pure Water when defeated and even turn into Pure Water when [[Mario]] uses a [[Yoshi Cookie]] on them, thus allowing the mustachioed plumber to easily destroy more of their kind.


More powerful variants of Hobogoblins known as [[Straw Head]]s are found in the [[Sunken Ship]].
Hobgoblins are considered the relatives of the [[Straw Head]]s from the [[Sunken Ship]].
