Kobolds are twisted versions of Goblins. They are pesky and territorial. Though encountering one Kobold might not look like much of a threat you really don’t want to run into a pack of them, and surely not stumble upon one of their settlements.
Kobolds are drawn to shiny things and prefer to live in caves or a dense forest. They are known to set a lot of traps in their territory as well as try and sabotage bridges or make ambushes on roads.
