Klarg is a bugbear, much bigger and stronger than a goblin
But he is taking a lot of punishment from the gobblers
Glad we convinced them to turn sides!
Edit: nevermind, didn't see plutonius post
We don't officially know the bugbear stats, and it is up to DM to disclose them for new monsters.
The common ones we can assume that, as adventurers in these land, we are famiiar with. Others less so.
One could do a knowledge check to see if they know, or at least have an idea.
You (syllin) would be the most indicated for this, except you just mistook him for a goblin, so you obviously do not know.
Also, in our games it is customary for DMs to indicate in narration whether the monster of unknown hp is getting seriously hit or not (he shrugs the arrow away, ignores the cut, balks, slows down, labored breath, is in pain, bleeds profusely, etc) to reflect the fact that we would be able to recognize how a creature in combat is doing, even if we don't know the exact stats

This is a goblin
Ah, slightly embarrassed cough, my studies took me in other directions, something I suspect that my Grandsire sought to remedy when he suggested me for this quest. A period hauled away from my scrolls, texts, and books and attending to - and having to learn a bit a little about - the challenges of the Authentick Real World was something he long was of the opinion that would benefit me greatly.
Besides, it is lamentably clear that there were areas of study that eluded me, or held little interest for me.
Clearly, deep immersion in bestiaries are called for when I next darken the door of a Wizard Library, in the University for Sages and Sorcerers……….as bugbears as not the only strange beast I can expect to encounter….
