Kobolds are the smallest cousin to the canian. They are neither big, nor strong, nor intelligent. In the past, they have been the target of every people in the world that has had a desire to own slaves or expand their borders. Now, they live underground in fear of almost every other race in existence. Their fear is so great they will mobilize for almost any reason to eradicate any group that comes near their homes for any reason. Their underground cities are an amazing network of passages and traps. They are not intelligent, but they have over the years devised a repertoire of traps and tricks and devices to protect them from invasion. The citizens of any one settlement will be full aware of the location and operation of all of the traps of his location, but only partially aware of the snares of a neighboring settlement.
Many tribes of kobolds that have suffered the most extensive abuse, have lost most of their culture and in turn have become very barbaric and will think nothing of robbing, murdering and plundering to fulfill their basic needs. They will band with any other group that they are not afraid of to achieve these purposes.
Kobolds will arm themselves with short bows and light arbalests. Sometimes, they will attack with melee weapons, but their strength is with ranged weapons.
