This might might be completly right, but from my experience it seem to be the case.
If a monster in neutral and you attack it other neutral monsters in vicinity will ignore you (unless it BAF's) - If it's hostile, although it wont activly aggro you it will join in if you attack it's mates.

Also you can talk to neutrals (if they're humanoid and have something to say), you can't talk to hostiles (they give you a dirty look).

lol, this cracked me up.
But yes... hostiles "defend their buddies and shout foul words at you" whilst neutrals just stand there next to their dying friend thinking "Bahahha, poor bastard".

From my Keltoi farming experiences.
Hostiles only join in if their mate asks for help. So two hostile keltoi initates stand next to each, you spectacularly kill one...
Then sit next to his buddy recover your endurance, point at the mess and tell him he's next.
Mob replies 'Huh?'
This of course may be different for different types of hostile mobs?

This isn't quite as clear cut as you think.
Myself and the mrs were out in Pennines, killing NEUTRAL orange con Spiders, when one shouted for help and a red con added and killed us both...
We had been there all day killing them btw, so maybe this was a very rare occurance, but I'm not sure :|
We're now looking for other orange mobs to kill...!

I would say that even neutrals may shout for help... but hostiles will help even without being asked to do so.

Some neutrals call for help, like the water beetles in Hib (way to break in the newbies, have two red cons agro on them as they beat up a blue con collector).
Don't think hostiles add until the one attacked asks for help, not sure though. Grovewoods do funny things when they call for help, like one roots you, the other poisons you and the last one heals his mates. They are good fun to fight but you die invariably after about 15 kills or so.

Maybe they're just the same...
But hostile means 'you piss off this faction any more and we'll kill you' and they won't trade with you?
whereas neutral means you have a bit of leeway need to kill a few in the faction to get aggro

I saw a post by Sanya some time ago when she was explaining this.
Basically, Hostile mobs will never become Aggressive.
Hostile and Agressive are the same 'level' of hate, but hostile creatures are docile, whereas Agressive ones are... ummmm... agressive. Agressive will attack on sight, Hostile will not.
So the difference between Neutral and Hostile, is that Hostile mobs hate you, whereas Neutral mobs are... ummmm...neutral to you.
You can have a conversation with neutral mobs (for example the svartalf vendors outside Atla) but if they turn hostile then you can't.
In terms of baffing, calling for help, and other combat related differences - there aren't any.

ppl seem to have it right..
I was once in varulv down where the Quixors are.. all around me were hostile. I attacked 1 and after about 5 secs all around agro'd me
I have also been attacked by a hostile without attacking it or any nearby.. but its quite rare.
As for yelling for help.. Thats mob dependant, even friendly mobs can yell for help making all nearby come and attack u
