“Kobolds are harmless.” -Bearand the Bold, epitaph (Magic: the Gathering) “The Parts Septentrionall are with these Sp’ryts Much haunted.. About the places where they dig for Oare. The Greekes and Germans call them Cobali.” -Thomas Heywood, _The Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels_, Book IX, l. 568. 1635.

Kobolds are small, humanoid creatures with the looks and temperaments of feral dogs. While the most common type are as ever-present in the early dungeon as they are weak, more advanced types exist with an increased ability to threaten and harass.

Kobolds

K Kobold (monster) - The standard variety of kobold. They are generally only dangerous to very low level characters, in large swarms, and with equipment, such as those branded with or expelling poison.

K Big kobold - The larger and more robust variation. Often found with numerous kin, big and small.

K Kobold demonologist - The most dangerous of the common types, not so much in and of themselves, but because of the lesser and common demons they bring to the battle. Rarely, one may encounter an apprentice kobold demonologist, who is capable only of summoning lesser demons.

Unique kobolds

K Pikel - A big kobold, known for his branded whip and band of slaves.

K Sonja - An exceptionally quick and nimble kobold, armed with not only a branded short blade, but rare and dangerous curare needles.
