The kobolds are a weird species of underground dwelling miscreants. They have a wide-range of appearance, some looking liked twisted, aged Gnomes, others looking like small dog-people and still others looking like small lizard-people or even tiny dragon people. They all speak the same language and live in mixed company. Kobolds have Dark Vision due to their subterranean habitat. They are considered by most to be nimble, fragile and unpleasant to deal with. They often live as scavengers, and so are quite good at searching through dungeon garbage safely. They are known for quick-tactics, traps and ambushes too. Almost all kobolds are Chaotic in alignment, but a few Neutral renegades are known. Because of their small size, Kobolds cannot use Heavy or Very Heavy Weapons, Longbows or Composite Bows.

Kobolds in the Region:
There are small kobold bands throughout the wilderness but they are almost never seen in the city or in the farm country. If they do enter the city, they tend to sneak through the sewers, only emerging past midnight to commit atrocities.
