In my current homebrewed campaign, there’s a war machine composed of most of the evil races. Orcs are the footsoldiers, hobgoblins are the leadership, trolls are heavy infantry, kobolds are miners and sappers, etc. However, goblins are unique as the mechanics and inventors. They craft airships, weapons, and some of the highest-ranking ones have large suits of steam-pow. PCs won’t fight them much, but if they do get put in a battle of wits with a goblin they might just lose…

Super minions work great for surprising players who have been around the block a few times. A campaign I’m running at the moment started out with the PCs being informed of a dragon rampaging around a town, cliche I know but honestly, if the get to level 7 or 8 and kill the dragon, well, fantastic, that’s a good start but so far they have run into the same kobold sorc twice now with him running off the players once and escaping by the skin of his teeth the next. Point is, during the dungeon leading up to the second encounter I rolled up a random encounter of a low level demon, the players decided to assume that the demon was working with or for the kobolds… guess what, enter the super kobods as a main villain for after the dragon. Hmm, kobold summoning a balor, works for me.
