In "Finn Family Moomintroll", he appears as a powerful magician who travels the Universe with his flying panther, searching for the King's Ruby. Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Sniff find his top hat in the Lonely Mountains and bring it back to Moominhouse. Chaos ensues, as anything placed inside the hat is transformed. Moomintroll himself is changed into a strange creature by the hat when he uses it to hide during a game. The hat also transforms the Moominhouse into a sort of jungle. The Hobgoblin has a quite intimidating appearance, but is friendly. His name in Swedish literary means "The Wizard" or "The Magician".
