And: consistency is the bugbear of small minds.
(As you know.)

Robin
----------------
In increasing order of fearsomeness:

Kobold
Goblin
Orc
Hobgoblin
Gnoll
Bugbear
Ogre
Troll
Hill Giant
------------------
Robin's switch from "Hobgoblin" to "Bugbear" represents
a common memetic strategy known as <exageration>.
If I remember correctly it is an approximately threefold
increase (1+1 to 3+1 HD?) in severity.
