Kobold

KOBOLD

Kobolds are a small, craven, draconic race that dwells in places hidden from the sun, particularly subterranean caverns or densely wooded areas. The inherent cowardice of the kobolds has lent the schemers a bit of cleverness and ingenuity, especially when it comes to devising deadly traps. Despite the fact that kobolds believe they are, in fact, the most superior race on Golarion, they are commonly found in service to other, more powerful masters.

Kobolds consider themselves scions of dragonkind, and they are extremely proud of this purported heritage, no matter how laughable other creatures might consider these claims. Despite such scepticism, kobolds share more than a superficial resemblance to true dragons, with scale colouration closely matching the colours seen among chromatic dragons. Some kobolds develop a strong propensity toward powerful draconic magic and manifest these chromatic traits with more intensity. These so-called dragon mages are highly respected by other kobolds, and often rise to positions of leadership within the tribe.

Kobold Variants

Kobold Warrior

The typical kobold trains with agile weaponry, favouring the light pick (favoured for its use in crafting new tunnelsto expand their domains through underground reaches) or a light spear (for its usefulness in swarming tactics). Kobolds are capable of landing sneaky strikes against unsuspecting foes but are just as quick to scamper off to safety when they don't, as a group, outnumber their enemies at least two-to-one.
