“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 is as ever-present in the early dungeon as it is weak, more advanced types exist with an increased ability to threaten and harass.

Kobolds

K Kobold - The standard variety of kobold. They are generally only dangerous to beginning characters, when found in large swarms, or when equipped with dangerous items, such as branded weapons or blowguns.

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

K Kobold demonologist - The most dangerous of the common types, mostly on account of the lesser and common demons they bring to the battle.
