Kobold
Some of the smallest draconic creatures in the multiverse, kobolds display their draconic ancestry in the glint of their scales and in their roars. Legends tell of the first kobolds emerging from the Underdark near the lairs of the earliest dragons. In some lands, kobolds serve chromatic or metallic dragons—even worshiping them as divine beings. In other places, kobolds know too well how dangerous those dragons can be and help others defend against draconic destruction.
Whatever their relationship to dragons, kobold scales tend to be rust colored, although the occasional kobold sports a scale color more akin to that of a chromatic or a metallic dragon. A kobold's cry can express a range of emotion: anger, resolve, elation, fear, and more. Regardless of the emotion expressed, their cry resonates with draconic power.

Kobold Pitstalker
Among Pitstalkers, traps are an art form. Few artisans are as obsessed with the minute details of their work as a master kobold trapmaker. Kobolds rarely indulge in creativity over function, but exceptions are made for a cunning trap. They find ingenious ways to incorporate bizarre spells, technological advances, and unexpected twists into their traps. They are also known to carve complex tunnels in caves they inhabit, becoming gauntlets of ever more intricate and elaborate traps.
