A ttrpg character with no backstory and no motivation besides killing things and looting treasure. Nowadays often used as an insult, while technically it just describes a style of play. The murder- describes the interest in killing enemies and looting valuable things, and -hobo refers to the character having no home, no family and no friends. The player mainly/only engages with game mechanics, often related to battle and gaining experience points, while neglecting to create a personality or backstory for their character.

The podcast era of TTRPGs frowns on murderhobos, as it is now more expected than ever to have an interesting or entertaining character for roleplay. Never forget that those people are also actors and voice actors.

While a murderhobo isn't automatically a bad player, the stereotype exists that murderhobos kill or destroy everything the DM mentions in hopes of gaining loot or finding secret door through destruction, including taverns, town guards, friendly creatures, ruins and the ground itself should it ever be described.
