Basic Information

Anatomy

Small humanoid dragons with a short stubby tail, and, occationally, wings.

Ecology and Habitats

The hot mountainous regions of Kruziik Dovgol. They are far more feral and base then their larger cousins the dragonborn and when left to their own devices live in small family groups that roam freely over the higher cliffs.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Meat is the main diet the kobalds feed off of and so they spend a fair amount of time hunting. They often hunt in groups of two or three wielding either crude bows or spears. Although they aren't advanced enough to store their food so what they hunt must be eaten before it goes bad.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Their small little groups are lead by one alpha, the winged kobalds. The largest packs have two or three different famliy groups all lead by the same alpha.

Domestication

The dragonborn have adopted the custom of taking kobalds as slaves, having them do most of the menial jobs such as cleaning, gardening, and hunting. Many kobald slaves were born into it, but it's not unusual for a new batch of wild kobalds to be rounded up and brought down to the cities.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Mainly found in the Kruziik Dovgol, they do occationally drift down to the Nirel. They stick pretty closely to the warmer dryer climates.

Common Dress Code

Not much in the way of clothing, most just paint their scales with mud or blood and call it good. Although some tribes are known to wear loincloths, cloaks, and decorate themselves with strings of beads and feathers.

Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals

They love to gather at night around small campfires and sing well into the night. Their yowling can be heard echoing down through the valley's.
