While most of the gods focused on creating and refining races that excelled at using magic, building civilizations, and learning, some gods would create and then let loose their creations unfinished. One such creation is that of the kobolds.

Kobolds are small wiry black skinned monstrosities with long lanky arms and legs and hound like faces drawn back tightly to facilitate a murderously capable set of jaws. The kobold is intelligent to a point, able to dig and build the simplest of lairs. What the kobold was given though was an unnatural and insatiable hunger. The more it eats the hungrier it becomes and its unique physiology grants it immense strength and speed the more it eats. There are reports of a single kobold holding off whole battalions of soldiers after raiding a city’s granaries.

This also means that militias and shepherds are always on the lookout for these dangerous creatures.

We caught the glint of its red eyes in the back corner of the room before we heard it screech and attack. It must have been down there for weeks eating the rats and then Maggie’s cats for it moved like a wicked wind. Tom probably won’t walk again and Samuel lost an eye but we took it down. Next time make sure they lock the cistern access next time.
