Version 0.16: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

“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 tier 3, 4, & 5 demons they bring to the battle. Rarely, one may encounter an apprentice kobold demonologist, who is capable only of summoning a tier 5 demon.

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.
