It is the ghoul of a troll, right? But somewhat weaker than the later.

In the original description is a alchemical experiment gone wrong and it's supposed to be a mix of troll, ghoul, but looks like a hobgoblin.

Spellcheck and editing would be welcome.?

If you want it to be consistent with prior editions, Thouls should speak Goblin as well as common.
Also, given that Thouls could be shamans of up to 5th level or witch doctors up to 4th level, I would probably up the mental stats quite a bit. Intelligence 1 is lower than a Ochre Jelly; Thouls should probably be in the 8-10 range - just a step below Hobgoblins.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best use these critters? No disrespect meant (I like the build) but I always found the concept a bit silly (flumph-level silly) and a bit of a “gotcha” monster (“you thought it was a lowly hobgoblin? HA HA!”). Any experiences using them?

In the B/X rules Thouls are described as living among hobgoblins and sometimes acting as bodyguards to the hobgoblin king. There were thouls with the hobgoblin tribe in module B5 Horror on the Hill.
