Hobgoblin Taker (Basic Lore)

Hobgoblin Taker (CR 4)
Lawful Evil - Medium - Fey
Hobgoblins are the cruelest and most common of the Low Fey. Although technically Outsiders, they live on the Prime material in large numbers, their enclaves generally isolated. By the measures of more 'normal' races, the Hobgoblins, like all fey, are quite insane. Their motives and reasoning are just-so-subtly...off. For example. Hobgoblins are quite formidable beings. If they formed armies and marched on their neighbors, they could establish nations and empires easily enough. But they do not. They don't care about such things, being content to live in small towns and thorps, a few dozen here, a few hundred there.... That is all that they are interested in. Hobgoblins are far more interested in their byzantine social lives and the torment of their slaves than they are about worrying over living space, to be honest. Hobgoblin Takers are the most common 'rabble' Hobgoblins. They are serfs and trash, beggars and scrabblers, menials and cheap security, ekeing their way along the lowest levels of Hobgoblin Society. Takers are very likely to be found out and about, picking through the edges of other, lesser, societies. Takers are the hungry, aggressive, upward-seeking Hobgoblins. They are skilled with whips and chains, and will Enslave anything they can get shackles upon. Many a Taker has raised itself with a coffle of slaves, and they are all eager to do the same.
