The typical Hobgoblin is a legal evil creature. The degree to which they are honorable is contingent on the circumstance in which you are associated with Hobgoblin. If you're their adversaries, and you're fighting their enemies, they'll demolish them at any cost. If you're one of their allies and are fighting side-by-side with them, they'll be extremely punctual and honorable. Doing everything they can to ensure you're safe and win is theirs and yours.
