Origin[]
In English folklore, hobgoblins are small, hairy, little men who are often found in human dwellings doing odd jobs around the house while the family is asleep. Hobgoblins are also known for practical jokes and sometimes their pranks can prove to be dangerous. Attempts to give them clothing will often banish them forever, though whether it's because they're offended by such gifts or simply too proud to do housework in new clothes is debatable.
