'''Hobgoblins''' are a type of [[Vex]]. They are larger and more dangerous than [[Goblin]]s, and have distinctive tails.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 55''</ref> They are usually armed with sniper-like Line Rifles that are capable of a large amount of damage at long range, and they are incredibly accurate. When shot, Hobgoblins will briefly project an impenetrable shield that renders them completely immune to all forms of damage. Guardians who step in this shield are inflicted with the "Burning" debuff until they step out. Occasionally, Hobgoblins make use of Slap Grenades to force players out of cover and push them back.
'''Hobgoblins''' are specialized [[Vex]] snipers.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Vex#Hobgoblin|Hobgoblin]]''</ref>  


==Types==
==Overview==
Hobgoblins are lean, tougher Vex units fitted with improved optics and acute sensors in their horns.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Vex#Hobgoblin|Hobgoblin]]''</ref> They have distinctive tails.<ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 55''</ref> They are usually armed with weapons called [[Line Rifle]]s, terminals which theoretically draw energy from the accretion disks of galactic singularities.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Vex_Arsenal#Line_Rifle|Line Rifle]]''</ref>
 
==Gameplay==
When attacked, Hobgoblins often seal themselves in stasis within an impenetrable shield that renders them completely immune to all forms of damage. Guardians who step into this shield are inflicted with the "Burning" debuff until they withdraw. Occasionally, Hobgoblins make use of [[Slap Grenade]]s to force players out of cover and push them back.<ref>'''Bungie (date of release [2014/9/9])''', ''Game: Console, Activision Blizzard''</ref>
