'''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]]s or [[Shadow (enemy)|Shadows]].

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]].
