Hobgoblins

While goblins represent childlike creativity, Hobgoblins embody the feeling of splendor and loyalty a child might have towards their elders, seeing them as heroes. Their culture emphasizes respect towards older ones, which are incentivized to embody the values associated with them.
This cycle has bred various generals, researchers, and explorers, creatures always in search of something more to add to their portfolio of capabilities and knowledge to show off to their juniors.
