The Hobgoblins are a species of unknown origins who were locked in the vault of an abandoned movie studio.
Biology[]
The Hobgoblins are small with green skin, sharp teeth, yellow eyes, four clawed hands, pointed ears and silvery fur, their species has the ability to psychically project their victim's deepest desires, using as a fisherman uses a lure, they do not seem to eat their victims, but they do seem to take sadistic pleasure from their death, the psychic manifestation can only be destroyed if the Hobgoblin (or Hobgoblins) who were projecting the scenario were incapacitated or killed.
History[]
In the 1950s, they crash-landed on Earth in the parking lot of a movie studio, killing several people. They were then locked away for the next thirty years, in 1988, some bam whose just there for tax reasons went into the vault that was unlocked, for some reason and thought he was singing on a stage when he fell and died of low budget movie the fall, then they escaped after another guy opened the vault and they went to said second guy's house and messed with his friend by conjuring up his perfect woman and tried to kill him by pushing him off a cliff, but the Hobgoblin projecting the killer damsel was incapacitated and the doom was no more, the friend survived but his car was not as fortunate, they got the first guy's girlfriend to go to a awful night club and the one of the guy's friends sees her boyfriend set up in flame and, yadayadayada, the Hobgoblins return to the and get blown to smithereens.
Notes[]
- Hobgoblins are obviously made to cash in on the late eighties trend of non-human creatures causing a mess and screwing up lives, they are basically if you smooshed together the Mogwai from Gremlins and the Crites from Critters.
- The film was mainly known for its appearance on the movie-riffing show Mystery Science Theatre 3000.
- It was later revealed in a documentary made by the original cast about 30 years later, that they only managed to give one of the Hobgoblin puppets a movable mouth.
