Description:
Kobolds are short, reptilian humanoids with cowardly and sadistic tendencies. Kobolds wear ragged clothing, favoring red or orange, and speak Draconic with voices that sound like yapping dogs. They like to attack with overwhelming odds (at least 2 to 1) or trickery. Should the odds fall below this threshold, they usually flee. Kobolds live in dark places: underground locations and overgrown forests. They are good miners and can often live in the mines they are developing. A kobold tribe comprises up to ten clans, which form war parties that patrol within a ten-mile radius from their lair. They usually kill prisoners for food but occassionally they will sell some as slaves.
