On a whim, Death granted Hob Gadling immortality in 1389. Dream arranged to meet him every 100 years to see what life holds for a mortal who cannot die. Over the centuries, Gadling became a bandit, a printer, and a wealthy shipping and real estate magnate. By 1689 he was destitute, having been persecuted as witch after staying too long in one place without aging. By the next century, he had regained his fortune in the slave trade. Reconsidering that choice at Morpheus' urging, Gadling prospered in other fields, and never missed a single meeting with his friend.
he looked upon the world and saw it was still depraved

hobgoblins are much more common. They are a good first kill if you want to get the courage skill as they can be found in the wilderness. Goblin rockthrowers are also all over in dungeons.
If you're going for an ultra ending and neglecting courage avoid goblins, go to holeinthewall and kill a mugger.
If you're going for an ultra ending and want courage go south to the swamps and hope for an encounter of giant frogs.

Wikipedia wrote:Hobgoblin is a term typically applied in folktales to a friendly or amusing goblin. The name originally referred to that of folklore character Robin Goodfellow but has grown to be defined as a different species of goblin or fairy. The name is often interchangeable with "bugbear", "bogeyman", "bugaboo" or "bogie", and the term "hobgoblin" has grown to mean a superficial object that is a source of fear or trouble.
The term originated in the 1530s, from hob, meaning elf, from Hobbe, a variant of Rob (Hick for Richard, Hodge for Rodger) an abbreviation or alternative form of Robin Goodfellow, an elf in German Folklore.
The creature commonly appears in the bestiaries of fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, where it is portrayed as a larger, stronger, smarter and more menacing cousin of the goblin, but not as high up on the goblinoid hierarchy as bugbears. A hobgoblin appears in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream under the name Puck.
The fictional character Gollum from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe of Middle-earth has sometime been refered to as a Hobgoblin. Originally a Hobbit, named Sméagol he was corrupted by the One Ring which deformed his body and mind. Gollum became something between a Hobbit and an Orc, or Goblin.
