The original monster had 1D8, which is on par with an average grunt monster like an Orc or Goblin.Standard Orcs got 1d8 HD in AD&D, but got considerably tougher in later editions either due to having high CONs or more HD. In 5E they have 2d8+6 hp.Goblins were 1d8-1 HD in AD&D, an average of 4.375 hp; they have 2d6 hp in 5E.Contrariwise, Hobgoblins were tougher than Orcs in AD&D with 1d8+1 HD, but are more fragile in 5E with 2d8+2 hp.Maybe Hit Points 9 (2d6 + 2) so they're a bit tougher than a 5E Goblin?Speed I reckon should be 30 ft. on land and climbing since the original monster moved as fast as a standard Orc, which move as fast as a regular humanoid (6", 9" or 12" in AD&D depending on armor, and speed 30 ft. in 5E).Making them faster with 40 feet wouldn't match the original stats, limited as they are.</blockquote>
