Kobolds
Often encountered in uninhabited forests, such as the Schwarzen Wälder in Eisen, kobolds are the models for the grotesque stone rainspouts often found atop cathedrals and other important buildings throughout Théah. They are bloodthirsty, territorial beasts who will not move into an area if they see another of their kind living there already. The statues are an attempt to fool them into thinking that the area is already inhabited. These beasts attack using their oversized fangs and claws, and are difficult to injure. Their bite is poisonous.
Are there kobolds in the sewers? There had better be kobolds in the sewers.
