Common Characteristics
Scaled, reptilian humanoids, typically less than 3' tall and weighing little more than 20kg. Their legs are sinewy and digitigrade; they have long, clawed digits. Many kobold also have short horns protruding from their heads. Though a stereotype, kobolds are often described as smelling like wet dogs or stagnant water.
The colouring of their scales varies considerably and some kobold groups operate a caste based system based on scale colouring.
Kobolds worship dragons as gods and most kobolds believe that they were created by or are in some way related to dragons - whether or not this has any basis in reality is debated by scholars.
