Hobbs are little guys who may appear in houses. They will clean your house, which is good because sometimes dust layers will appear in areas no one traverses often. They will happily clean! However, it's best to not offend them, because if you do... They become a boggart. Boggarts are significantly larger and prefer to hide in the dark, in hidden areas such as under staircases or in basements. At night, they come out to stare at you whilst you slumber, they may also cause house fires by slapping campfires. If you get too close, they'll slap you too. If you give a boggart any name tag, it becomes extremely aggressive. They do not follow you however, and when slain they drop boggart fur, which is odd since hobbs are bald like sphynx cats, except the tip of their tails. Boggarts are hard to kill because they have quick regen when in the dark. In order to keep a hobb from becoming a boggart, you can name it and/or keep it happy with snacks. Fried gnome is one of their favorite snacks, and they'll even forgive being hit if you have given them some recently. Note that naming them is less effective than snacks, and they break the nametag when they become a boggart.
