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]]. | In battle, Hobgoblins attack by clawing their opponents.
