Kobold

Small but Determined

Kobolds are small warm-blooded reptilian homids. They have dragonkin and have mixed draconic and mammalian traits in addition to their reptilian "base" nature, such as several small horns, long or fanned ears. Some kobolds have a trill or "mane" of feathery hair running from their head, down their spine to a plume at the tail, while others have ridges or plates there instead, depending on the place of origin of their lineage.
