Kobolds

Dragons-At-Heart
Kobolds are small reptilian humanoids who live in underground dens.

Kobolds were originally created by dragons to be a servant race to their draconic overlords. For many years, the Kobolds lived under pure draconic rulership.

When the draconic war broke out between the dragons, many Kobolds were transformed into a stronger, taller variant: The Dragonborn. Those who remained Kobolds were used for stealth missions and trench construction. After the deaths of dragons on all factions, those who remained left behind their Kobold and Dragonborn brethren to fend for themselves. The Kobolds were too weak to survive on their own, relying on instinctual survival and their expert trapping making prowess to stop any real threats.

Kobolds still revere Dragons as if they were true gods to be worshiped with coin and sacrifice. However, Kobolds despise those who appear draconic, but are not actually dragons. Kobolds have been known to hunt Sorcerers with draconic blood, for being a mockery of their "gods," and Dragonborn, due to the belief they stole the love from their draconic overlords.

Kobolds are commonly viewed as being pathetic, weak, and stupid creatures, but they are far more powerful then most realize before it's too late. Kobolds are incredibly clever, many an adventurer have gone to attack a Kobold den, expecting easy money or loot, only to succumb to the expert traps they've set up.
