Who would win in a fight? Hobgoblins, or Nilbog Goblins?

So who do you think would win? I'm pulling for the Hobgoblins. They'd probably give the Nilbog Goblins a fantasy about someone being turned into green slop, and then they kill them.
I am Ambassador Phantom, from the planet Krankor! I am rapidly approaching your planet... in the warship, which you have just seen. I will arrive tomorrow night at precisely eight o'clock. At that time I shall make my wishes known to you. You will obey them... or die! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

I think that. while poorly carried out, the Hobgoblins actually are pretty conceptually sound. Desire is often a more dangerous and potent force to manipulate than fear, and the hobgoblin mode of attack involves people giving in to their own wants, rather than convincing people to eat glowing green health food. Hobgoblins may be physically inferior (they're puppets, one of the few things that can be overtaken by a midget with a spear), their occult powers are great.

Yes, I agree.  The hobgoblins actually use methods that would actually work on real people, not just idiots like the ones in Troll 2.  In order to defeat the hobgoblins, you have to confront your own desires.  All you have to do to defeat the Troll 2 goblins is not eat the slimy green food, which, unless you are a coma patient who gets all their food from an IV drip, is not at all difficult to do.
Correction: the coat hanger should be upside down.

The hobgoblins would win in 30 seconds flat, but would later test positive for HGH and the result would be nixed.
