Kobold, Canine Ancestry

  Kobolds are a cowardly, sadistic species of short humanoids that vigorously contest the human and demi-human species for living space and food. They especially dislike gnomes and attack them on sight.   Barely clearing 3 feet in height, kobolds have scaly hides that range from dark, rusty brown to a rusty black. They smell of damp dogs and stagnant water. Their eyes glow like a bright red spark and they have two small horns ranging from tan to white. Because of the kobolds’ fondness for wearing raggedy garb of red and orange, their non-prehensile rat-like tails, and their language (which sounds like small dogs yapping), these fell creatures are often not taken seriously. This is often a fatal mistake, for what they lack in size and strength they make up in ferocity and tenacity.   Kobolds speak their own language; some (75%) speak orc and/or goblin. credit: Dungeons and Dragons Second Edition   Canine Ancestry Kobolds are rare in wildspace, rarely will an adventurer encounter more than one in their lifetime.
