How D&D hobgoblin names work in 5e
Hobgoblins name themselves for the legion. A short, harsh personal name comes first. The second word is the cohort: a standard, a weapon line, or a rank. Soldiers who share a cohort share that second word.
Naming Conventions & Roleplay Tips
- •Keep the personal name to one hard beat: Krall, Drozz, Azra, Kesh.
- •The second word is the unit, not a family nickname. Ironlegion and Spearwall are postings.
- •Captains keep the cohort name and add rank in play, such as Captain of the Ashpike Phalanx.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pair a harsh personal name with a legion word. Krall Ironlegion, Azra Ironlegion, and the Bannerbreak Cohort fit a 5e hobgoblin war band.
Yes. The legion word stays the same. Krall Ironlegion and Azra Ironlegion serve the same host. The personal name is what changes.
Goblin names are often jokes or scraps. Hobgoblin names mark rank and unit. Use a cohort word such as Shieldmark or Oathblade instead of a silly nickname.
